Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I can verify that e-loader doesn't work in OSX.  My new powerbook doesn't have the option 
to start-up in OS9. (a bad decision on Apple's part)  The classic environment hasn't 
worked for me either, when starting up in OSX.  Luckily, I still have my old iMac running 
OS9 only.  To use e-loader you'll have to start up in OS9- go to system pref,'s and choose 
OS9 (or Classic) as the start up disk.  (this was how I was able to do it using my eMac)  
You'll also need the OMS app. To install e-loader and the OMS app. on your computer, 
make sure you've started up in OS9 first.
