Hrm. I'd do that, sounds easy, except for one little thing: I have no disks
to boot it with, how would I get the emulator on the //e? Reading the FAQ
(Which also said it couldn't be done, but I choose not to believe that until
I have beaten my head against the problem for a few months) I saw something
about null-modem connections. Any ideas, could I do that without any software
on the //e side?
