For sure, I've been fiddling with IIe, a Mac //e emulator, on my Powerbook
165 (33 mHz '030). It doesn't seem to run quite at real //e speed. I expect
it would do at least 1.5 mHz on my Quadra 700, I recall that STM could do
close to 2 mHz on it. I didn't get around to trying IIe on the 700 before
I left home, but I'll give it a try when I get back in a few weeks. Be cool 
to have more than just the Pbook and a Mac XL on hand to work with like the 
last three months have been.
