Let me suggest, as a satisfied customer, the MacConnect software which runs over either ODI or NDIS network interfaces on the Thinkpad. I'm very happy with MacConnect running over the ODI interface presented by PC-NFS 5.1 running over my 3C581 packet driver. This setup gives my little portable the ability to simultaneously support PC-NFS, Windows Socket Interface, DOS packet driver programs (custom netwatch ethernet sniffer / packet analyzer), direct printing to HPLJ-IV network printer, and peer to peer file sharing with Mac systems via Appletalk protocol. If you don't have a local ethernet handy, you could always get a cheap passive hub to pass traffic among your machines. >Message-Id: <Pine.LNX.3.91.960407001627.24710B-100000@tuna.mit.edu> >On Sat, 6 Apr 1996, Daniel Kim wrote: >If you're really into tinkering, you can get Executor for DOS or Linux >and run System 6 Mac apps on your Thinkpad. You should've seen the >look on my (Mac-only) friend's face when he saw a working Mac desktop >on my Thinkpad. ;) I am not personally eager to buy yet another computer (I own a Thinkpad 750Cs for portable use, DOS/Windows31/Windows95/Linux/SCO-Unix/OS2 boxes at home and office, and I have a bunch of 68xxx and PowerPC Mac's spread around countertops in my office. I would, however, really like to run a Mac desktop on my PC to support molecular biology software which is only available for Mac systems. Could you please provide more information about the capabilities, deficiencies, contact address/phone/fax numbers for the vendor, and pricing for Executor for DOS or Linux? Do they have a System 7/7.5 product in the works? How would you expect this package to perform on a 486SL-33 (750Cs) -- a guess at comparable Mac system performance level would be nice. Has anyone used Executor to develop Newton applications using the Apple NTK? Thanks, AJ Annala Laboratory for Molecular Pharmacology
