Once again, I begin a thread referring to the title with "do these exist?".
It would be cool to do the reverse of a DOS compatibility card and run Mac OS 6 or 7 on a PC in a window under 95 or 3.1, or run it full-screen on top of DOS.. No reason why these can't exist, but do they?
(And yes, I know about Mini vMac, but emulators just feel like cheating to me... Can someone convince me otherwise? That would be convenient..)
Edit: I've partially answered my own question. Apparently Gemulator (intended to emulate the Atari ST, but also capable of old Mac apparently) had a hardware accelerated board for older machines to use, so conceivably you could get hardware-accelerated emulation of old Mac this way using vMac or Mini-vMac (I think the former, can't remember which one I read it on). Are there any other boards, though, and am I correct on this?
