- Wrong! The author's own name for it is
-
- *Unuseable* Amiga Emulator
-
- Yes, it currently only runs under UNIX (or Linux on the PC), but UNIX is
- not part of the name.

-
- Yes, of course.
-
- So is the 68000 processor, for that matter. Doesn't stop people from
- (trying to) emulate them.

-
- It runs very slowly... a P5/33 is needed to get 1/3 the speed of an A500
- (only on some operations - on some others, only 1/15th speed).
-
- However, it does run.
-
- As for the PC vs UNIX question - there are lots of versions of Linux on
- the PC, and they're cheap to obtain, so most who wish to can run a UNIX
- variant.
