- I've heard many times how ARDI designed Executor from the ground up,
- using clean room techniques, because of the proprietory and secret nature
- of the Macintosh toolbox ROMs. Hence programs which use certain
- undocumented features of the ROMs will not work on Executor.
-
- How then, do you explain the new Power Mac clones, from companies like
- Radius? These machines are supposed to be 100% Mac compatible. Do they
- reverse engineer the ROMs, do they buy the ROMs from Apple, or has Apple
- made avaiable the code for these ROMs in the "Open Reference Platform" or
- something like that.
-
- I'd be interested to know what Radius and the other clone maker(s) do in
- this regard.
