As was mentioned in a previous article SoftPC for Mac requires at least a 68020. This, I think was a wise decision, since you CAN'T make a reasonable 8088 emulator on a 68000 - it requires a bit more power. >As for Soft PC, does that run under A-max? It might run under A-Max but you would need a 68020+, e.g. an A3000. >I wondered if they had to do something special to read/write using >Mac-compatible drives, and whether this worked with A-max. The Macs that it runs on I believe come with the new Super-Drive which can quite easily work with MSDOS diskettes but would be incompatible with Amiga drives under A-Max. Hope this helps. -- Andrew Phillips (andrew@teslab.lab.oz.au) Phone +61 (Aust) 2 (Sydney) 289 8712
