- You can start from the AmigaOS emulator someone at Commodore wrote a long time
- ago for AMIX. It also works on Sun-3, NetBSD-Amiga and Linux/m68k (after minor
- changes). it allows you to run (very) simple text-only applications, but due
- to the AmigaOS shared library design it's easily extendible.

- I think it can be found somewhere at ftp.uni-regensburg.de.
