Mac in a IIgs??????? - Why Not????

In a newsgroup I read daily, the question was asked about finding Mac ROM's for
emulator use. A posted answer was given below:

Well, I explored the above referenced URL and found several Mac ROM's in zip
archive format - with links to still other URL's that have even more, such as;
zip archives of MacOS 8, it's control panels, even a link for a Mac PPC ROM
image in zip archive format.  ;) Downloaded them all too!  Now, wouldn;t it be
cool if some cool and skilled programmer could use them to make a low-end
'FREEWARE' Mac emulator for the Apple IIgs???   I

Imagine such an emulator, would allow the IIgs users to use Netscape or most any
other Mac app. that has functionality they now lack with the current Apple IIgs.
I've talked with some A2 icon programmers that told me such could be done --
like for instants -- a Mac SE emulator could be done for the IIgs.

BTW, I also obtained a Palm Pilot ROM image. in case anybody might have the
desire to work on such an emulator of that also for the IIgs.

I'm more than willing to help with fuirnishing anything  ;) NEEDED, to help with
such a Mac -> IIgs and/or Palm -> IIgs emulator, if anybody wants to give it a
try. Please contact me.

All Apple's working together - are better than none, as I see it.

Looking forward to any reply on this proposal.

Cheers,
Tom
