2150.0. "P.D Emulators/VirusX" by SUBURB::NORRISI () Tue Jan 24 1989 12:31

    
    			   -Emulators-
    
    What emulators can you get on the Amiga, my list stretches to the
    following?
    
    	CPM	-	Public Domain/Shareware
    	MSDOS	-	Transformer/DOS2DOS (sort of)
    	ST	-	STEmulator (Fred Fish)
    	MAC	- 	I think theres one in Shareware
    	BBC	-	Commodores new emulator - Out Now! #49.95
    	C64	-	I thinks theres 2 but I can't remember the names
    	
    
    Is there a MSDOS emulator in Shareware/PD??? And how about any other
    emulators which have been found anywhere (PD/Shareware/Shops/etc).
    Please let me know.

    The ST Emulator is a joke, literally.  It was done in retalaiation
    for an 'Amiga Emulator' that made the rounds of the Atari networks
    a few years ago.  The Amiga Emulator would present a jittery screen
    asking for a Workbench disk.  Any user action resulted in a Guru.
    
    The ST Emulator presents a GEM desktop.  When the user clicks the
    mouse, a number of chrerry bombs are presented.  Cherry bombs are
    the ST equivelent of a Guru.

    To the best of my knowledge (which ain't sayin' much), the latest version
    is 3.10. Among other places, you can find it on:

             CRISTA""::AMIGA:VIRUSX31.ZOO

    I believe you will find that Readysoft is claiming that they will
    be coming out with a MAC emulator written by some guy in New Zealand.
    They currently sell a C64 emulator.
    
    There was something on usenet a while ago about somebody writing
    a MSDOS.DEVICE so that you could access MS-DOS disks, it was going
    to be shareware I think.

    ReadySoft did show a Mac emulator at AmiExpo.  It currently uses
    128K ROMs, but when Fat Agnus goes to 1 meg, it will accept 256K
    ROMS.
    
    They claimed it ran 10-20% faster than a Mac SE.
    
    This is all vapor and heresay until such a gadget appears on the
    shelves.  However, given the irrefutable evidence that Magic Sac
    and Spectre do indeed work on the Atari ST, I believe that it will
    happen.

Is this then hardware and software?  If it's hardware I hope it will
fit in an Amiga 1000.

Re: .1

Just to squelch a rumor: I am not Ed Acciardi on a time delay.  His
reply (.1) about the ST Emulator written yesterday (I just read it)
reads just like the reply I wrote today to the note on the BBC
emulator.

I wonder if Ed and I can do one of these "Mysteries of the Unknown"
Time-Life Book commercials together?
