I love the comments on this newsgroup. I have an iMac and I do run 
bernie, but I don't think bernie so too super, the graphics are not as 
good as a real GS, and I run into problems often with it. Why run a GS at 
all, just run a mac if you are going to just run emulators. If this 
accelerator ever works out we will see what you all think then. There 
will be no VGA, or ram on it or any other smart ass suggestion. I just 
want something to speed up my GS.
