Not exactly true.  You *can* run the Translator One box without a Magic Sac.
There is at least one shareware program on the program disk that comes with
the Translator One which allows you to transfer files from Macintosh to
GEM format.  (I think the author asks for $ to register and get the "full
function" program that allows transfers from GEM to Macintosh.)  The
program runs under GEM, and no Macintosh ROMs are used, so you don't "need"
a Magic Sac.  [Though I *will* say that the Magic Sac is quite nice in
and of itself].
