It just occured to me that perhaps there is a way to get alot of game
software for the Mac II.  What about having a Mac II emulate an Atari ST?
Something like the inverse of an Magic Sac would open up a vast amount of
game software for the Mac II.

Of course, it wouldn't be quite as nice has having real Mac II games, but
its better than nothing.  Has anyone else given any thoughts to this -- 
are there any difficulties in getting a Mac II to emulate an ST?
