Corrections: Re: MagiC Mac/Magic Sac



Despite the similarity in names, the late MagicSac cartridge and the 
current MagiCMac ST-emulation software are unrelated.

MagicSac was a cartridge for the Atari ST that emulated a Mac+ (so long 
as you provided the Mac ROMS).  It evolved into the much-improved 
Spectre:GCR, which worked with the Mac OS up through System 6.0 (I 
think).  It was produced by David Small's firm Gadgets by Small, now 
defunct.

MagicMac is a software ST emulator that runs on current Macs.  It's based 
on the MagiC operating system for the Atari ST.  I have no experience 
with it myself, but from the very active discussion of it on 
comp.sys.atari.st, I'd say it seems to work pretty well. (There WERE, 
however, problems with the demo that was available for awhile.)
