You can get a Mac Classic for pretty much the same price as the Hydra and the ROMS. Now the classic comes with 2 meg and a 40 meg hard disk. It doesn't have to emulate at all. It has the same processor as an SE in it. Sooooo, why spend all that money and have only one machine (your IBM) which can run the software at a (hopefully) comparable speed, when you could have two (2) machinesvfor the same price, and KNOW that the mac part is compatible with your software? Why tie down your IBM? Just wondering. :-D ave
