 You'd need the disks for it. Mine are labelled Magic Sac+. It's possible you
have an earlier version cause I seem to remember it being referred to as that.
I don't have docs but I have the disks if you want copies. I'm sure there's no
copyright problem since you have the dongle.
 You'd boot with an Atari disk and then use the mac-sac transfer disk.
IIRC it used System 6.03 . It was much better than the PC Ditto emu that was
also available for the ST at the time, which was incredibly slow .
