- How about FPU emulation? any chance?
-
- : PC-Task V4.0 when it is released (as I said no official release date
- : yet) does 486 instructions (ie programs that require a 386 like Doom run).
- : It does have improved video drivers with better support for cybergraphx.
- : It does have a new method of CPU emulation (commonly called dynamic
- : compilation) that can be much faster (CPU<-RAM speed is important). It does
- : NOT give you 486 25Mhz speed on a 040 25Mhz or anywhere near that but it is
- : faster than previous versions. It does NOT compile a MSDOS/Win executable
- : to an AmigaOS executable (which is by the way impossible to do for all cases
- : unless you have a unlimited machine or have fall back dynamic or
- : interpretive emulation). It does NOT currently have soundblaster or ethernet
- : support.

- I was a decent kid once, friends, a social life, well kempt. Girls liked
- me. I bought a TI 99/4A. It was fun. I stayed home a little more. I started
- hanging with a "different crowd". I got an Amiga for my HS graduation in '85.
- Somethings changed...where are the dates...where are the phone calls...MY GOD
- WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME!
