The Magic Sac works with the 64K ROMs, and even Apple has announced that they
will no longer support the 64K ROMs anymore - most new commercial applications
that I have seen require the 128K ROMs. Also, if I am not mistaken, there is
no way to interchange disks between the two machines (read Mac disks in an ST
or read ST disks in a Mac), this really isn't a viable alternative. I was also
under the impression that the speed difference was related to the Mac's 
handling of the video display (a problem which the SE and some third party
RAM upgrades, most notably the MonsterMac, don't have).
