- The program you're thinking of is called ][-in-a-Mac, published by some
- educational outfit in South Carolina. Unfortunately, this thing is
- _ancient_, and only emulates a //e with 64K ROMs. I don't have any more
- information on it, but I do know it's listed in the Macintosh Products
- Registry, published by McGraw-Hill. (You can also find the Registry on
- GEnie.) I know of no SW/PD solution otherwise.
-
- If you have a Macintosh LC or LC II, you can install the //e card ($115
- educational discount I think) and daisy-chain up to 4 external floppy
- drives off of it. The installation disks also include a system extension &
- a control panel (?) that allow you to mount ProDOS disks on the DeskTop.
- You can also install a ProDOS partition on your hard drive.
- (WARNING--installing the ProDOS partition requires reformatting the disk.)
