- If you were to just emulate the ROM of a fairly new Macintosh, say a
- 6100, wouldn't we then be able to run anything that a 6100 can? That would
- mean that we could buy and install System 7.5. After this works, you
- could write as many native routines as possible. That way you wouldn't
- be behind all the time. BTW, what you already have is an amazing technical
- accoplishment and I don't meen to say otherwise.
