- An important point but a little inacurate. You can run any OS you whant to on
- the Mac's, you can run mac OS system 7 on any machine that it will run on
- also. You do need the roms or ram copy of them to do it. There are several
- clones of the mac that use old roms as well as several emulators (one for
- the SPARC), these all run mac OS. You can ftp the mac OS on the net from
- Apple sites or pay for a srink wrap version with docs.
