- I've got a paper from UU (the developers), and posted a summary on
- c.s.a.emulations. It's been a while since I've been on news, so I
- don't know if it's still floating about.
-
- It is a hardware platform for all Amigas (including the 500). They're
- releasing it with Mac II/LC/etc. capabilities running as a task under
- AmigaDOS. MMU is recommended. PC emulation is to be released around
- Christmas. The last that I heard was that they were waiting for FCC
- approval. (Lots o' things get hung up there.)
-
- If it lives up to its specs, it'll be a killer product. With Sybil,
- it'll even read/write Mac floppies WITHOUT a Mac drive (Hurrah!).
-
- c.s.a.emulations was keeping up on it last I looked.....
