Probably a more appropriate place for this sort of thing than comp.sys.apple... COMPUTIST Subscription Department PO Box 110846-T Tacoma, WA 98411 Features copy protection removal for Apple II's, some Mac stuff, and (recently) an occasional IBM program. Also has program modifications, cheats, and the usual character editing/map listing programs. Subscriptions are $32/year. >Preemptive multitasking: The Apple II, let us remember, is as fast as the > original IBM PC. The IIgs is 3.5? times as fast. It is certainly fast > enough. I don't think speed is the problem. The big problem is that > you can't write a program which will generate interrupts on the II > (can you on the IIgs?)

All from software. That should be enough. -- (One of these days, I'll settle on a REAL .signature)
