- Yes, it is true. This will be a scaled down version of the e current
- EMPLANT hardware. It will include the necessary hardware for remapping
- I/O (the major thing needed for emulating MAC/IBM/etc hardware), the
- serial/AppleTalk support, and a SCSI interface via a standard DB25
- connector. The unit will be a PCMCIA card for the A600/A1200. As you
- can imagine, it is not the normal size since there will two 8 pin
- min-din connectors (Apple's serial ports) and the DB25 SCSI connector.
- The unit will plug into the PCMCIA slot and sit flat on the desk along
- side the computer. Fortunately, the A600 and A1200 use the same height
- PCMCIA connectors.
-
- There will be NO sockets for dumping ROMs. There will be another unit
- (sold seperately) that attaches to the parallel port solely used for
- dumpinping ROMs. If you already own the computer that you are intending
- to emulate with EMPLANT, you can use the software provided for the real
- machine to dump the ROM image to disk. Those customers would not need
- the adapter.
-
- Projected retail price is $299 which includes dual serial ports, SCSI
- interface, and the MAC II/x/cx emulation module.
-
- We will be going to F.C.C. sometime in the next 60 days for approval, and
- units should be shipping with 30 days from the time of approval.
-
- There will be only one model available for PCMCIA cards, unlike the four
- different models available as Zorro II/III cards.
