- Hmmm, is executor 100% compatable with the mac though, if it's not
- involving the original ROM?
-
- Here's a concept : can you run Executor on a 486, and dump the
- 'macROM' that it mimics using the SaveROM application that comes
- with ShapeShifter ??
-
- Purely as a matter of interest, of course.
