Finlay,

"Work with a Mac" meant a Mac with a PowerPc chip for me at this  
moment.  /an iBook or iMac/.  That is why I am interested in an  
external device that can be addressed either via USB or Firewire.   
"Work with the Mac" means also that the language tools for hardware  
design can be used from the Mac either natively or via a softPC/ 
VirtualPC like situation.  I do not mind if something works just via  
Classic either, that is if it is only OS 9, although I would prefer  
an OSX solution.

It would be to simulate neural nets.

Do you have something in mind ?

Thanks ahead,

János
