Re: Rumor or Fact? Was the Mac Emulator card for the //gs....

  Now that I am remembering more about this rumor, it wasn't actually a
Mac emulator it was alike a upgrade card to turn your GS into a low end
Mac (I think).  I remeber having a discusion with one of the members on
this would even work.

   Anyways, thanks for clearing it up for me.  I was just wondering if
there was an actuall prototype out there..
