The cartridge port gives you 128 KBytes of adress space, this is not the
problem.

The problem is, the ROM software cannot run at the adress of the
cartridge port. Magic Sac and Aladin (the german MAC-Emulator) load the
ROM image into RAM, relocate and patch it (in case of Aladin) to acces
the ST hardware rather than the MAC ports, floppy etc, and then run Mac
software.

Copying the ROMs into RAM ist what Apple Germany calls "illeagal
duplication of copyrighted works"; that's why the Aladin must not be
sold anymore to avoid legal action from Apple.
besides: I like it very much. It seems more stable than the Sac; too
good? :-)
