I've never been able to emulate a Mac successfully; even on an 060 it'd
take forever to boot, so I gave up...but I'll try to help..

I'm sure you meant "windows" with a lower-case "w". :) A while ago
someone told me that with my 060, I should be able to emulate a Mac
that's about four times faster than the fastest 680x0-based Mac that
ever existed, but like you I found that it's SLOOOOOOOOOW!

Probably need some kind of HQX decompressor or something. That's one of
the few things I hate about Mac -- it has really weird non-standard
compression algorithms!

CrossMAC. With this you should at the very least be able to copy stuff
from your Amiga directory over to a Mac floppy and onto a Mac hard
drive partition or hard file.
