Yeah, that's the one. I used the system for a bit, but it was
a little slow on my systems. I had heard elsewhere that it
resembled the Laser, but they claim to have re-engineered
the ROM. At that point in time, there was very little choice
in emulators.

At the time I didn't get to use a Laser. From what I knew of
them, they seemed to be a better system. Too bad Apple didn't
take a lesson from Laser and make such improvements in the
II series.
