- Summary of responses:
- All respondents report that 32-bit quickdraw will not run
- on a 68000 (only 68020 and above). So Quicktime is not available on
- the PowerBook 100 (bummer!!).

- thanks to all for the info

- There is a extension available which simulates the 68020 instructions
- in software on a 68000 using the exception mechanism. Has anyone tried
- to get color quickdraw to work on a 68000 mac using this? One problem -
- I can't find the init on sumex - does anyone even remember it?
