    Running Linux, Windows or applications like Firefox, Thunderbird and AbiWord from a USB flash memory device is old hat. How about a Mac 128K or Plus on a USB key? Using a ‘portable’ Mac system you can:

    play with old system software and applications without dusting off your old Mac,
    impress your friends, or show others what the older Mac system looked like,
    use Mac on Windows and Linux.

    sounds interesting. And it would seem to run on windows based machines too. Just wondering if anybody has done this?

    It's just a Mac emulator in portable form if you have ever ran one of these Mac emulators under Windows on your PC it's basically the same thing. The novelty factor tends wear off quickly with this kind of stuff.

    Yea, its a pretty old but cool trick. Basically its a 68k emulator running from a flash drive.

    After a while it will knacker the flash with all the R\W's too :)
