Spectrum Emulator V1.7 Freeware
This aptly named emulator was last worked on in 1993. So it may be a
little out of date. It runs quite well on all machines and several
versions are included for various processors. It was written by Peter
McGavin in New Zealand and includes the rom image for instant emulation.
Very good for those with slower machines or still run an old A500.
Compatible: OS1.2+, 68000+, 512K+
Speculator '97 V1.04 Shareware �10
This would be one of the most comprehensive Spectrum emulators I've seen,
only to be out shined by ZXAM in terms of compatibility, ease of use and
features. According to the docs part of the ZX rom was rewritten in
Amiga 68K assembler to speed up a number of routines. It certainly flies
on my machine. It can load and save in several different formats
including the almost generic snapshot, as well as standard ZX basic
files. This does not require a Spectrum rom to run.
Compatible: 68000+, OS2.0+, OS3.0(for Installer script)
ZXAM Spectrum V2.0b Shareware US $15
Here we have the pinnacle of Spectrum emulation. Okay so I'm, biased,
I'm getting lazy as I get older. I like GUI's on programs, simplicity
without being basic. Thats what this program achieves. It allows the
average person (with a decent Amiga) to easily emulate a Spectrum, change
programs/games with ease, enter Pokes (remember those ? :) all without
having to resort to one cli command. A special AGA version is included
for those of us who have them. It incorporates several AGA only hardware
tricks to speed up the screen display etc. but unfortunately disables
multitasking. The program supports a number of commonly found rom types
and I have honestly not had any problems in loading roms into this
emulator. I've included a special version for Blizzard 1260 boards as
the original locks the machine. Get both archives if you own one of
these accelerators.
Compatible: 68020+, OS2.04+ Rom not required. (A1200/A4000 for the AGA
version)

ZX Spectrum V4.71 Shareware $10
The Docs were rather vague about which currency the fee is to be paid in,
but suffice it to say that I doubt it would reach the author now. this
version was last worked on in 1994. Included are several different
versions, one for Blitter screen and one for processor screen updates,
plus there are Interface I versions of both, but this does require the
separate Interface I rom. I had some trouble running the emulator,
resulting in it crashing on me, but I would say this is a problem with
the 060 being incompatible.
Compatible: 68000-68040, Unknown OS Version requirements.
