Quix's Prep MAC Emulator & Ardi's CDROM
There is a good article in the October, 1995 edition of Macworld on Quix
Computer's emulator which allows a genuine copy of the Mac OS to operate on
PReP based systems. The article is five pages long and does a nice job of
describing the system and the problems that the company is having with
Apple. (They are trying to get an OS license from Apple, and Apple is
saying no).
The article also refers to a Quix WWW location, HTTP://WWW/QUIX.CH. Since
this post is a little off subject, I will keep it short.
On another subject...
I think that Cliff's shareware CD-ROM is a great idea. Might I make two
related suggestions:
(1) also suggest a small DOS (Linux) subdirectory containing useful
DOS/Linux utilities aimed at the Executor users, (e.g. programs
aimed at fixing AOL downloads, VESA 2.0 emulators, etc.; and,
(2) helpful Mac utilities that can be used on a real Mac to make
Executor easier to use, e.g.
programs helpful at transferring programs from real Macs to
Executor (e.g. programs which will split and reassemble
single files over 1.44 megs)
I know you have a great deal of work, but I think arming the customer for
this problems reduces complaints and tech support hours for you. I think a
small section in print in your manual will help. Most of the people who are
buying Executor now are very computer literate. Your post 2.0 customers may
be school teachers with far less knowledges.
