We tried this at a local dealer here. Results follow:

-downloaded/converted the virgin Level0.{image,changes} files
	(would be nice if you could use canonical Mac disks, this conversion
	stuff is not The Right Thing)
	could not do the sources (no hard disk support on MacSac yet)
-The boot image came up,
	(you know the one with all the Apple Object Oriented Developers)
-Crash & Burn
	(this is just before the "Mac at the end of the Smalltalk balloon"
	 image is to appears)

I'm not sure of what version we were running, but I believe it was
current for time we tried it (about early Nov).  I have heard that
a new version of MacSac has been released, (true?) if this is the
case, we should try this again.

We tried all the permutations of MacSac boot configurations also.
512 emulation, 512 w/ramdisk, and I think it was 984K, but same
results each time.

The two prerequistes for my purchase of an ST are that MacSac supports
both hard drives, and that the Level1 (1Mb) image be runnable.  If anyone
succeeds in doing this I would *really* *appreciate* hearing about it.
MacSac people (and authors, developers) are you listening?  You could sell
a ton of these things if you did.  At least two or so to me, anyways!

Dietz.
