Re: [hatari-devel] macOS : FPU using EmuTOS

[Francois LE COAT <lecoat@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I still have my Falcon030, with 4Mb of RAM and a 250Mb IDE drive, and
a FPU ! After that I had a Hades060 with 40Mb of RAM. That was the
first Hades in France, in june 1996. I still have it.

After that in 2003, I discover earlier Mac OS X version (10.3) on PPC.
Since my first PowerMac dual-G4, I always had Macintosh. I never had PC.

Nowadays nobody will still buy PC, because it's slow. ARM is fast !
