As I recall, you are right. Thank you for pointing this out. The only copy of the Specs I have seen is those published in MacWeek. We have a subscription at school. Howeverm it still should be possible, yet it will require a very powerful machine as Copland is not going to run on anything less than a PPC, yet ARDI may be able to get Apple to recompile copland to run on x86 systems, and then just provide the ROM emulator, and "system integrator" that remaps the ports on x86 machines. They would also need to write a PPC emulator though, which theoretically, could come from Connectix Speed Doubler. Instead of Recompiling 040 into PPC, recompile it into x86, and do the same with PPC apps.
