Is it possible for the Amiga to read single-sided Mac-formatted disks? If so, it should be possible to write a MacWorks-type program for it. If you're not familiar with MacWorks, it's the OS that allows Mac software to run on a MacXL (really a Lisa). It consists of a modified version of the Macintosh ROMs that reside in RAM. The Lisa hardware is _very_ different that the Macintosh hardware, so if it could be done on the Lisa, it should be possible on most 68000-based sytems with similar screen resolution and similar disk hardware. – Mike
