Re: question re: mac LC //e card...

["Frank Townsend" <ftownsen@iamdigex.net>]

Yes, the IIe card should be able to run software like a real IIe (it *is* a
real IIe albeit with virtual slots).

Yes, the IIe session can be hidden, and programs can be run on the LC

Yes, diskette volumes can be saved to the hard drive if a part of the hard
drive has a ProDOS partition.


Regards,

Frank Townsend
