- Hello Amigo.
-
- For the model you describe, I know a good emulator for you.
- It's called PC-TASK.
- COMPATIBILITY : 90% with programs for its configuration
- VIDEO MODES : MDA , CGA
- EMULATES CPU : NEC-V20
- SERIAL PORT : Emulates serial-port for modems etc. (in PC-mode)
- PARALEL PORT : Emulates paralel-port (in PC-mode)
- FLOPY DRIVES : It emulates your df0: and even your df1: -if you own.
- HARD DISK : It emulates your dh0: You can even split your
- dh0: in particions and use other of them as PC-hard-
- drives and the rest as Amiga-drives !!!!!!!!
- MULTITASKING : The multitasking meens that you can work in both
- modes (Emulation+AmigaDOS) at the same time, since
- the emulator runs as a single task under AmigaDOS
- THIS, is real power !
- SPEED : At an Amiga-500 with 7.14MH 68000, it is a litle
- bit slow. It gets real fast at MDA-mode, with
- more speed than the Transformer.
- ========> BUT :
- Since you tell me that you own an accelaretor,
- I hapily inform you that it has 3 differrent
- programs in the disk:
- PC-TASK68000 ,
- PC-TASK68010 , and
- PC-TASK68020+ , so if you run this
- 3rd program you'll have as much speed as you want !
- DISCLAIMER :

- The details I provided you with, are from a list in the network.
- So -even if I am not sure- this software material is NOT shareware or PD.
- Also, any mistakes appear in this mail exist because I don't own this
- emulator myself.

- -----------------
- P.S: Please send me a list with good emulators you have in mind.
