- I keep reading posts from people that say their machine runs the Emplant fast
- and they are very pleased with it. I thought maybe there was something wrong
- with my machine because it seemed so slow, it was'nt worth it.
-
- Things seem very sluggish unless you have a graphics board for 256 color modes
- . I presume the 16 color or fewer modes run OK on native machines.

- I'm using a CV64 on my A4000/040 25MHz, 16 MB RAM, Emplant Deluxe,
- Apple CD 300 system, and it works very nicely (Sys 7.5 from CD ROM).

- Amiga side to be recognized by the Emplant emulation. No matter what I did,
- nothing would work. All the replies from out there in Cyberland and even the
- suggestions from the boys at UU would'nt help. I thank you for trying.
- I finally got tired of screwing around and since I got a Mac Mall card from
- Creative Computers with a $4000 limit, I figured I'd go buy an external and
- daisy chain it to the external HD. Naturally, it still wouldn't work until I
- loaded in a CD driver that I had bought for the Mac when I was trying to get
- the Amiga CD to work. I can't tell you the joy I felt when I inserted the CD
- and got an icon on the screen. (It doesn't take much for me feel joy)
