I'm sure I'm not the only one with a dependance on old legacy 68k Mac OS apps. In fact the only app's that I use "Classic" support in 10.3.9 on my G5 2x2 to run are both 68k app's (ClarisDraw and the original "Master of Orion"). As long as someone can produce something that will run my legacy 68k apps well, and does it at an affordable price, I'll buy it. Basically I'd like something that allows easy integration of the App's with newer ones. It's probably going to be a year or two before I can think of getting an x86 Mac, so hopefully by then, someone will have come out with something. I'm also hoping that Virtual PC works more reliably, and faster. Worst case, I setup something like my 8500/180 running an old enough version of the OS so that I can also run "Warlords 2". BTW, I do own PC versions of both games, from before I got a Mac, however, they're limited to 640x480, while the Mac versions go up to something like 1152x870. Both games are also well on topic, but still two of my favorite games of all time. Hmmm, I just thought of another potential problem... I wonder how well my ADB-to-USB converter will work, I really don't want to give up the ADB Apple Extended II Keyboard I'm typing this on. They just don't make keyboards like this one anymore.
