[Elecraft] [K3] Wine & Update Software

[Bob Nielsen]

With Microsoft Virtual PC, I can even run XP on my G4 Mac although it  
is extremely slow, as one would expect from cross-platform  
emulation.  There is a version of QEMM (free) which emulates Intel  
for the PowerPC Macs also, but I haven't tried running Windows on it.
