Is is possible to connect an Atari 520 or 1040ST running a Macintosh 
emulator (such as Magic Sac) to a TOPS network?  

Macs are connected to the TOPS network through the serial port.  One problem 
is Macs have a special chip to drive the serial port at 230K baud.  Also, the 
custom chip may be doing more than just driving the port at high speed.  If 
you have tried an Atari ST on TOPS or have an opinion to express, please reply 
to either info-atari16 or directly to me.  Thanks.
