Now that I have had time to play with the Mac emulato.
The problem I mentioned with the cloverleaf equivalent
keys actually ended up being some incompatability of verstaterm
which had to do with how its defines the command menu key
equivalents. The menu keyboard command keys are there on other
applications like wordperfect, MacDraft, etc.
 
I too have had no luck like the earlier poster a week ago  in getting
it to print out to my epson LX-800 in the Image Writer mode. The OS
seems to do something, puts up the requester with the cancellation
message and that is it. My mouse pointer is stil active so I don't
seem to have a lockup or crash as described by the other person. But
my menus, and other activity are dead while "it waits to print" I can
only move the pointer. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so is
it fixable???? Not that I need much printing since the output will not
be as good as an imagewriter (distorted by the difference in printers
I have read). But I would like to get hard copy occasionally. Good
copy will involve transfers to work and my real Mac and Laserwriter.

I have found that with my 1 MEG 2000 I don't have enough memory left
with System 6.0 or higher to run  Superpaint 2.0 (requires system 6). 
So if anyone is like me and likes that paint package on their Mac, 
you will need more than a 1 MEG Amiga to run it in emulation mode.

I am working on Hypercard with my 1 MEG system. I make a minifinder
disk and am able to get it up at least and running, but it is
confused about the home stack (or where it is) so I will have to make
a copy of the original hypercard disk I guess so it won't be confused.
I don't have a machine with 1 Meg chip ram yet, but supposedly Hypercard
will run because of mapping out of the memory between chip and fast
ram that the software does. Will report more as I work on it.
