- How about setting up Executor in a similar way to ShapeShifter, (one of the
- best emulators for Amiga). With this emulator, users have to make a Mac
- "ROM image" from a real Mac, and buy 7.1 (or higher) System software.
-
- On another note: On my Mac, I have replaced the "Finder" with Executor's
- "Browser", under System 7.1! It actually works quite well, although I have
- no desktop, of course.
