James McHugh is someone who decided it was time for his 15 mintues of fame. James McHugh showed up on GEnie a few months ago and announced that he was going to be releasing a clone of the Macintosh OS ROMs and that his hardware/software would let Atari STs, Amigas, Apollo and Suns (I'm probably forgeting some, he listed almost every machine that uses a 68000 family CPU) all run Macintosh software. He promissed to send lots of people prototypes, and agreed to show up and do several demos. I've heard that several magazines even published his comments and lauded him for his programming skill (they did this without even seeing a prototype, which shows how real things in magazines are). Then people who know how the Macintosh works started asking him questions and he was unable to answer them correctly. He had no idea how the Mac works and what is needed to make non-Apple hardware work like a Mac. Soon after the questions started he disappeared, his phone, the one given above, was disconnected. No one has heard from him in a couple of months. If you like conspiracies you can believe that big evil Apple did away with him. Maybe they moved him in with Jimmy Hoffa. It's much more likely that he was a kid who wanted to be famous and get lots of attention, and now he's gone back to his normal, boring, life. If people are interested in running Macintosh software on the ST, or other computers, contact one of the real companies (eg. Gadgets by Small or ReadySoft). Don't waste your time on James McHugh.

A developer who shall remain nameless traded James McHugh for one of the mac emulators. What the developer got was some piece of a pc board from a radio!!! Mr. Magoo :-) likes to talk a lot and will tell some pretty TALL tales, one was that he was doing some work for the National Security Agency and that he sold 500 (yes 500) ST's to them as smart crypto terminals. So James McHugh, QUIT IT!!!!!! Vance Chin Berkeley Microsystems

Now _that's_ a good trick, since "Agency Standard Terminals" are IBM PC AT's and XT's.
