	The Spectre 128 will run Hypercard just fine.

	I don't think Dave has a current list of what doesn't run on the
Spectre 128.  (Considering the number of Mac programs it's almost
impossible to generate the list.  No one has all the programs to test.)
A short list is: no midi software, no music software (sound isn't
supported yet), anything that requires AppleTalk will fail, a most copy
protected programs won't run.

	If you are interested in specific programs you should ask
Dave Small.  He has an account on Genie and Compuserve.  He can also be
reached at hplabs!well!dsmall or boulder.Colorado.EDU!tcr!gadgets!dsmall.
