I have a copy of IV somewhere.  Its on a 400k disk.  Doesn't run on my
powerbook or my 6300.  It did run on my LC, though not very well.  Ultima
III has recently been released as shareware on the Mac.  A guy decided he
wanted to port it, he got permission from the right people, and i think it
runs for $25.  Just go to altavista and search for the words 'ultima' and
'macintosh' at the same time.  It works very well!
