The only emulator >I know of is Go-64 which I've heard is pretty bad. The best one to date, to my understanding, is ReadySoft's 64 Emulator II. It is best used for file conversion, as it will let you connect 64 and 128 disk drives to the Amiga, and it will also read 1581 disks in the Amiga. On a bright future note, I have heard there is a company designing a 64 bridgeboard of sorts. They're "Dr Evil Labs" of the SIDSymphony cartridge fame. I e-mailed them yesterday and am awaiting reply. Before you cry "vaporware" I'd like to add the results of my personal research into a 64 bridgecard. Two different hardware engineers I spoke to said the physical card to plug in would be VERY easy to design (as compared to the 2088 or 2286 bridgeboards.) The only hard part about mass-producing the boards would be getting bulk quantities of the 64 proprietary chips. The hard part of the whole package would be the software interface to the Amiga. That could be solved by getting a half-dozen of you screen hackers out there together for a couple of weeks, right? ;-) Kurt -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- || Kurt Tappe (215) 363-9485 || Amigas, Macs, IBM's, C-64's, NeXTs, || || 184 W.
