[WinMac] PC's on Mac hardware

        Sigh... Hardware cards also break when new versions of the MacOS come
out... Just look at all the DOS-compatibility cards Steveified with MacOS
8.5... And hardware cards often have trouble running NT and OS/2... They
are pretty much stuck with DOS/Win/95/98 because the specialized HAL's
don't exist.

        [BTW, I was one of the very first to get a Houdini card to work properly
on a Centris 660AV almost 5 years ago!]

        Cheers!
