The Magic Sac works with the 64K ROMs, and even Apple has announced that they will no longer support the 64K ROMs anymore - most new commercial applications that I have seen require the 128K ROMs. Also, if I am not mistaken, there is no way to interchange disks between the two machines (read Mac disks in an ST or read ST disks in a Mac), this really isn't a viable alternative. I was also under the impression that the speed difference was related to the Mac's handling of the video display (a problem which the SE and some third party RAM upgrades, most notably the MonsterMac, don't have). > Marty ========================================================================= Robert Hammen Computer Applications, Inc. hammen@csd4.milw.wisc.edu Delphi: HAMMEN GEnie: R.Hammen CI$: 70701,2104
