To put it even more strongly: I've seen all Mindscape games running
on an Atari ST, emulating a Mac. I noticed that 99% of the programs
that run on the Magic Sac or similar products, also run on the Mac II.

The only problems that occurs with these emulators is that sound routines
sometimes 'bomb' the system. Should you run into trouble on the Mac II,
the solution might be to turn off the sound using the control-panel
(just like the Atari users do)
