I think the real question should be: "Are any of the schools with all of those Apple ][+ machines interested in replacing them with Amigas?" The answer probably goes something like this: "Can we take all our old disks and programs from the Apple ]['s and use them on an Amiga?" The above portion of this post could have probably been taken care of by E-mail, but I posted to see if I could get a response to the rest of this: There has been much talk on the net about an Apple II emulator for the Amiga, and how it invites all sorts of legal problems with making copies of the ROM's and such. I have come up with a few more questions on the subject. 1) Where do the Laser-brand Apple II compatibles get their ROMS? 2) Radio Shack supposedly has a board they can stick in their Tandy 1000 line to run Apple II software. a> What do they use for ROM's? b> Would this thing work off of a bridgeboard? (Yes, I know. 2b is a real sick idea :-) Does someone know the answers to these? --> Steve -- Steve Wahl uunet!digibd!steve DigiBoard Inc. St. Louis Park, MN (612) 922-8055
