<BEEEEEEP> Wrongo!  ;-)  I own an Amiga, and am going to be buying the
Mac emulator "AMAX" , I am in 'touch' through the net with people who own
"AMAX" and it *CAN* address more than 512K of memory, I have an article
buy the 'author/designer' of "AMAX" and in it he explains that he "tricked"
the operating system of the MAC/Amiga into believing that ALL memory is
continuous memory!  So far, everthing productivity wise that has been tried
has worked (ie. Hypercard that requires a Meg (?) and several others like
Excel are reported to be 'running fine') sooo.... Amax can and DOES work
with as much memory as you can throw at it... the only thing he KNOWS of
that cause problems (running problems that is..) are certain games that
do undocumented/illegal calls to the OS/Hardware and some MIDI programs
also bomb...  As a future (ahh, for my savings to accumulate :-) ) Mac
emulator owner, what do YOU people know of that does NOT work with the
Spectre/Magic Sac emulator, and where would I go to find *GOOD* /useful
PD DA's games etc. !!!    

Thanks!!!
