- This is true, both about the chances of emulating a MAC II, and about the
- speed, Spectre is wonderfully fast. Anyway, I *do* see one option for Color.
- The original MAC OS has 8 colors built into it. The Roms support those colors,
- but unless you add SCUZZIGRAPH, you can't display them, and then only on
- another monitor. Fine, however, the Atari CAN display those 8 colors and more
- (especially with the newer high-rez cards). I'm absolutely *sure* that there
- should be some way to access those 8 colors and make them visible on the screen
- with ST hardware. Anobody got Dave Small's e-mail address? It's not many
- colors, but even 8 would be nice!
