Mac Os to X86

Kevin

Could you provide some details about the Mac OS you say will run on a X86? I would be very interested to have such a system.

BTW I upgraded an earlier computer to a 200 MHz K6 on a 66 MHz motherboard. I also found it necessary to use SCSI drives to transfer data between hard disks (lots of data). It is an excellent system. The new G3 system looks great but expensive. For what I think the average person needs it is going to be very difficult to compete with the AMD K6 family costwise. In my opinion most people including buisnesses would be better off by far with a K6 processor and putting the savings into additional memory.

I am neither short nor long AMD but wish I was long. If the yield problem really is over, it is obvious AMD will take off like a rocket.

Thanks ahead for the info.
