ROMs, there is no support for color (either on the display, or in the OS), so you cannot use 32-bit QuickDraw & thus cannot use the QuickTime INIT. The AMAXII+ card running on my A3000 runs as fast as a Mac IIci, and the display (since it's B&W) is MUCH faster than on a stock IIci. With an 040 accelerator in my A3000, the Mac runs as fast as a Quadra 900. If you need to use a Mac, and don't absolutely need color (PhotoShop runs, but shows a dithered B&W image adequate for most needs – the images DO retain all their color info), I would STRONGLY recommend buying an AMAX. There is another emulator called the Emplant, available, but given what I have heard about the product, I would recommend you buy the ReadySoft AMAXII (or AMAXII+). Their product has worked well for a number of years, and their support is quite good. Oh well, just my $.02, Erik Flom
