Can I Multiboot My PC with MacOS? Presently I have Windows 98, OS/2 2.1, Dos 6.22 + Win3.x. I want to add macintosh to that, I have A 40GB HD so I've got lots of space. Plus I own a real mac/and have a friend with a Power PC, if need be. Thanx

I personally recommend Basilisk II I have gotten it to work with OS 8 with a Quadra 900 ROM image. Just make sure your machine has plenty of CPU and RAM to spare because it runs in the windows environment.
Hope that helps.
Mike
