Gemulator works this way too.  PC peripherals turn into
Mac peripherals.  So where does one download an
evaluation copy of Fusion?  During the time I visited
news.groups often to check on the status of our photo
newsgroup, rec.photo.equipment.aps, a fusion newsgroup
was also proposed.  I think it got defeated by one vote
(the fusion group).  If I had known it would be that close,
I'd have voted for it.

Which serves to make my point.  Zip disks are expensive.
CD-Rs are cheap.  CD-Rs would facilitate user created
IIGS software.
