- As I recall, you are right. Thank you for pointing this out. The only =

- subscription at school. Howeverm it still should be possible, yet it =
- will require a very powerful machine as Copland is not going to run on =
- anything less than a PPC, yet ARDI may be able to get Apple to recompile =
- copland to run on x86 systems, and then just provide the ROM emulator, =
- and "system integrator" that remaps the ports on x86 machines. They =
- would also need to write a PPC emulator though, which theoretically, =
- could come from Connectix Speed Doubler. Instead of Recompiling 040 =
- into PPC, recompile it into x86, and do the same with PPC apps.
