MagiC Mac is an emulator of the Atari ST/TT computer line running the
[MagiC][1] multitasking [TOS][2]-compatible operation system, allowing
Atari users to run their software on top of Mac OS.
Several hardware components typical for the Atari ST/TT computers, as
blitter and sound chip, are simulated, thus giving MagiC Mac a high
compatibility to existing Atari ST programs. It support besides the
traditional screen resolutions of 640x400 in monochrome mode, 640x200
in 4-color mode and 320x200 in 16-color mode, arbitrarily chosen b/w
and color resolutions up to 16 colors.

McStout Classic adapters.
? Reuse of SCSI hardware (external hard disks, CD-ROMs) possible.
? use of online and terminal programs through the Macintosh network
connections through ARA.
? file access to disk image container files or to host file system
