  18.         I think you are pretty wrong. Emulating all the AGA hardware would be
  19. almost impossible! Emulate every timing, every sprite, the blitter, the copper
  20. and about a dozen DMA channels? Not pratical. A way to emulate Amiga would be
  21. emulating the API (exec, intuition, etc.).
