I have a magic Sac, and it makes my ST run Mac software better than a real
Mac in some cases (larger screen, 8 Mhz v.s 5.77(?), fast disk access).
It reads any mac formatted disk with the translator, however formatting
 using the translator may not work on any given mac.  Turbo Pascal might
run, but I am not sure.  I use lightspeed C with no problems.  There are
a lot of minor problems (no 128K rom-only software (yet), hardware accesses
cause crashes), but overall, I can get away without a mac.
