   Actually I believe I have heard about this beasty, and to make it work, you
 have to go out and by the 128k ROMS, and install them in the box.  The box
 does not come with a copy of the ROMS to the best of my knowledge.

   This was the only way that they might be able to avoid a law-suit (BTW
 what color is a law-suit, blue with grey pin stripes @-).


    So, as far as I believe, you Can run Mac software wth 640x400, but you have
 to go out and buy a Mac first....
