I disagree. I'd be very surprised if no 3rd party manufacturer came out with a NuBus board to emulate the Mac. There's a market -- someone will go to the trouble of reverse-engineering it. >-- >Norm Goodger SysOp - MacInfo BBS @415-795-8862 >3Com Corp.

We all know that all software for the Mac is based on the proprietary roms that would be needed to make any card of any type emulate the Mac...the third party has no motivation to do this, and get Apple on them at the same time for trying to use their proprietary rom code...... -- Norm Goodger SysOp - MacInfo BBS @415-795-8862 3Com Corp.
