Yeah I thought Id probably have a problem but Ive found 2 solutions to any
out there interested. theres a linux mac Emulator called Basilisk II that
can emulate anything from a plus to a II depending on what ROM image you
have for it...havent tested yet though gotta get an old II so I can get a
ROM image. Also theres a company *forgot name* that makes a program called
Sheep-Shaver is basicaly a Box (meaning it uses your hardware to run the OS
not emulation). It will allow you to use Mac OS at full speed on your
machine in a window. It is currently out for BE OS and the Linux version is
in beta. I expect it to cost $50 because thats what the BE version costs.
