I've been away from this group for a good while, and I'm sure this has come
up in the past couple of weeks, but I'm interested in hearing what others
think of the plausibility of this (?) rumour...

There's an article in MacWeek, 10/4/88, page 1 mentioning a Mac emulator
for the Amy by Small, Inc.  Evidently this guy Small was the one that did
did Magic Sac for the ST or at least had a hand in it.  They say that the
Amy version is "in the works" and I was wondering if anyone else had heard
anything else about this product (or product-to-be as the case may be).

I've got a lot of PC and Mac software that I have been working on/with for
the last couple of years, but the Amy has always been an intriguing machine
because of the NTSC graphics and sound and multitasking, etc.  There's no
way I could afford all three machines, but a 2000 (or the next one, if it
ever comes into existance) with a 80x8x bridge board, and Spectre 128 would
probably be just what I'm looking for -- or is it?  Am I expecting too much
here?  What are the "real" costs in such a system?  Does the extra RAM/Disk
space needed to store each of the "3" machines' code/date negate the savings
of using the same keyboard/peripherals/etc for all "3" machines?

					Thanks in advance,
