It emulates nearly perfect, except for some copyprotected stuff and some terminal stuff ( I also don't believe that sound works with it either... ) Software must be Xfered to the Atari ST via Translator hardware ( slow, expensive ) , modem link (faster), or direct connect( real fast, need access to MAC). The end is result is 10% faster than a MAC SE and a 640x400 pixel display. A new version is due out that apparently lets the ST directly read MAC disks. Steve Wilson swilson@UCSD
