Is there a way to run Apple // software on a MAC II?  I wonder if they have
or plan to have an emulater for this?  Now, before I get nuked please let me
finish.  I think a lot of Apple // owners like their machines but if they had
the chance (spelled m-o-n-e-y) they'd get a MAC II. I don't particularly care f
or MAC's but the MAC II seems to be another machine altogether.  It would be
nice to be able to use my old software. Admittedly, as soon as I was able to
buy enough MAC II software I probably wouldn't use the old stuff but the option
would be nice.  Here's a more serious angle. UNIX on the MACII either is
reality or soon will be.  Imagine a C or UNIX programming environment on the
MAC II with the ability to test it in the same machine by "porting" to a differ
ent card? With the right software and cards you could write and test C programs
MAC, APPLE II and MS-DOS on the same machine.
