                                                                     ..
I've seen an ST Emulator running (It claimed to be a demo of the Chamaeleon
german emulator mentioned here a while ago). It could boot in Lo Res
Color, Med Res Color or Hi Res Mono. It ran the GEM Desktop, and could
show directories of ST disks, and ran an old ST GEM demo program. The
menus were in German, and it crashed several times while I watched. I
dunno if there is a release version yet, but someone is at least
working on one. I don't have any other info on it, though.
