Meeks) Distribution: na Organization: NCSU Computing Center Lines: 28 And in the midst of this computer bashing, here's a little comic relief, taken from comp.sys.atari.st. ------------------------------- A small German company showed a ST-emulator for the Commodore Amiga - and it works! Most of the standard-software is running nearly as fast as on a real ST. The QUICK INDEX benchmark reported a performance of 93 - 98 percent. The price: about 600 DM (< $300). The 'medusa'-emulator will be available in April for the Amiga 2000, a version for the smaller Amiga 500 a bit later. You have to use the original TOS, which is not included with the emulator board. But you get a program which reads the ATARI-ROMs and saves the OS on a disk. The medusa-board can emulate the STE, so perhaps it is the fastest way to get a STE in the US to buy an Amiga and install the medusa-module ... (just a joke !?). I hope that all these news are correct (especially the dates and prices).
