Hello everyone,

recently i read the ASH page on magic mac. It said that on older macs magic
mac would not be an emulator program since it would run on the processor
family (M680X0) it was meant for originally. So there would be no need to
translate m68k instructions to ppc instructions. I looked at some specs of
older macs, such as the Quadras who feature a 68040 processor at 66 Mhz,
often with built-in FPU, at least 500 Mb HD, CD rom etc.
Has anyone out there tried to run magic mac 6 on one of these older macs? It
would be a dirt cheap way to run magic fast, a lot cheaper than running
magic PC or magic milan...

greetings Freek Munniksma.

Yes, I am doing it right now. This is written/send by ASH-
Emailer running in MagiCMac 6.01, on a Centris 660 AV.
All ASH internet programs run just fine, FIFI, Cab and Emailer.

cheers

I only have Magic 1.2.5 (I think that's it) running on a Mac IIfx.
However before that I originally ran it on a Quadra 950 / 56 megs ram
and it used to go great. Having said that, it goes pretty good on the
II fx also.

I have recently looked at updating, but for the amount times I run
magicMac now I don't think it's worth the cost (for me that is).
