A question about MacCartridge:
Did I miss something? Why should *anyone* care about Apple's approval?
If the thing was made *wothout* any Apple software or hardware, what
legal claim do they have to prevent this fellow from selling them?
There's a thousand-and-one IBM PC/XT clones on the market, as well as
a hundred-and-one UNIX look-alike systems, as well as...
Apple tried to stop distribution of GEMDOS, and they lost...and they
should have, look-alikes and compatable components are *not* copyright
infrigements...at least not the last time I looked....
