Thanks to Matthias Haury and others with a summary of CellQuest running on
a variety of Apple Mac's. It seems Mac PowerPC's run CellQuest OK if it's
in System 7.1. I have a further question.

I noticed that Apple now has a PowerPC which also has a 486DX DOS card
built in. Supposedly these Mac's run PC applications much better than
software emulation. My question is; can these Mac's, running DOS
applications available from other sources, read BD CellQuest files? If so,
I can use one machine (Mac PowerPC/DOS card) to analyze data from a BD
CellQuest(Mac) cytometer with a variety of different software. Has anyone
tried this?
