Re: Apple //e in Mac LC?

[Lockar <lockar@nosppam.com>]

      I have an LC 460 with an //e card installed.  I use it all the
time for my //e stuff.  I think it's really funny to play games on a
17" monitor.  Yes it does Double High  Res games like Airhart.  

    As for 80 col, yes it does do what the //gs does when it comes to
it.  It is readable, the only time I need to switch the mode from color
to black and white is when I am using MouseDesk (like said before),
Catalyst 3.0 or Apple Desk Top II.
