   MM> Which architecture was that?   
      
   680x0 -> PPC (Mostly developers would just write FAT code, IE applications   
   would contain code for both the legacy arhitecture and PPC.   
      
   PPC -> Intel.  PowerPC and to some extent legacy code ran in Rosetta, which   
   was a dynamic translator to execute code on the fly during the transition.   
      
   Intel -> Apple Silicone.  Similar methods were used when Apple went from Intel   
   to their own chips, called Rosetta II I believe.   
      
   Microsoft uses a similar method on the ARM64 version of Windows to run legacy   
   X64 code (In my oppinion, they do a slightly better job than Apple when   
   running legacy apps.  The only problem I run into when using Win11 ARM64 in a   
   VM on an Apple Silicone box is with legacy realmode drivers.).
