HUH? Wow, they're a bit of an oddity then. I know the StarMax 4000/160
and 4000/200's are listed as being MacOS clones. I suppose it's possible
they'll run either, but it is more likely it's at least a change out of the
ROM's. I've never even seen a PPC running NT (did know there was a port,
but wasn't support dropped after 3.51?).
