Phil,
Yes, that's almost true until you figure in the monitor and keyboard.
Plan on at least $199 for the cheapest monitor and $80 for the cheapest
keyboard. If you get the better Apple monitor it's around $300 and the
extended keyboard is about $125. Of course you can get a Mac Color Classic for
under $900, but it won't be as fast. An alternative may be an Amax II Plus.
Since the Amax II Plus basically grabs all of Amiga memory for the emulation
and uses the MMU on the accelerator to effectively merge it to the Mac's
satisfaction you can get an effective emulation and use all of your available
ram. However, you won't have any color. I used that setup quite
satisfactorily. If you do return the Emplant, I have an Amax II Plus with ROMs
which I'd be happy to part with. Let me know.
