Never having owned a PPC or OS4, the third option confuses me.

Doesn't OS4.1 run 68k applications?

Thanks

Forget that question, they meant for running 3.x itself, not for running 3.x APPS in 4.1.

I totally missed that distinction.

Unless it's dirt cheap (ha!) I'm not really interested in PPC though.

If I had a log-in there I would vote no.

A fast 68k card with either an FPGA or a different CPU with a 68k emulator in ROM would pique my interest, but not a PPC.

Unless the PPC can masquerade as a 68K fast enough to beat my 060/66 that is.
