Dave Lakritz reports (from the 04/21/88 BADGE meeting) on our internal
Amiga conference:
 
> Subject:  Amiga Magic Sac
>
> The person developing the Magic Sac was at last night's Badge meeting.
> He announced that due to problems with obtaining Apple ROMs as well as to
> avoid any future litigation from Apple, development of the Amiga version
> of the Magic Sac will be discontinued.
>
> Apparently they have a prototype running which can boot up a Mac
> screen on the Amiga but it's not to the point of being able to run
> anything yet.  He said he would check into releasing some of the design
> details into the public domain.
>
> They must have been getting a little edgy with Apple filing suit against
> Microsoft and HP.  I'm not sure how they were able to get the ROMs for
> the Atari version but maybe they didn't have Apple's full consent.
>
> The developer said that they had enough ROMs to supply the Atari version
> but hinted that they would let that product die after running out.
