Hi, I'm in the process of evaluating macintosh emulators for suns (mainly to run microsoft word). I've tried the Liken emulator and it seems to work ok except for a couple of things I didn't like: a) Uses version 6.0.7 software and in particular the print drivers (which confuses the laser printers since every other mac is system 7). b) probably more importantly it is very difficult to get anything into or out of the Mac file system, as it is just a data file, (I only have an evaluation copy with limited documentation, so it is a bit hard to tell if there is a way around this), so it appears the only way to get stuff into it is via a floppy or cdrom drive, which serverly limits it's usefulness as a network utility (ideally I'd like compatibility with a cap60 type file system). Speed seems to be ok (it still seems really silly to have a $20K computer emulating a $2k machine slowly). I recently read about Quorum's Equal emulator which sounds as though it might be more what I want, does anyone out there know where to get it, or even better has anyone tried it out ?
