	Yeesh! Only a person with a sick need to compute would even try to 
do this... but thats me... I purchased ReadySofts '64 emulator in order
to retain my 8 bit prowess and general family Guru-ship in providing assistance
to all my 64 using relatives.  I know, I know, it is slower (!) than a 
64 and not fully compatible... given that, I don't have any complaints...
......however I thought it was able to run Geos, something I used to 
use a lot, and for which I have a ton of software and files.  Has anyone done
this? Can it be done?  Also, can anyone tell me anything about Go-64
(availability, price, compatibility... `)

	Thanks&shalom,

		Joel.

(An interesting aside: I have never been so aggresively lobbied by 
retailers NOT to buy a product as when I was shopping for the 64 Emulator.
I mean  I KNEW it was an imperfect and slower rendition of the 64 - but
>I< wanted it... one clerk said, "Well, we'll order it for you, but only
if you promise not to bring it back" [I did not buy it from him]).


[also: does anyone know how beefed up your Amiga must be to make this 
thing run FASTER than a real 64?]
