First someone needs to port one of the emulators to run under OS X. The fact that it runs on Intel CPUs does not mean it automatically runs on OS X. There are two parts to software, one is the chipset for which is is compiled to run, the other is the operating system for which it was written to run. However, I *think* there are OS X Mac emulators that will do System 7 and System 6. Emailer actually runs under System 6 IIRC. So in theory, one of those emulators, if it is already OS X native, may work just fine. Otherwise, I *know* there are such for linux and other *nix OSes. That means it may be fairly trivial to port one to OS X native and get it running on Intel. Certainly it is something I'll look at when I get my Intel iMac (would that make it an iiMac?!?) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
