 Hi Amigoids,
             I recently saw an ad in Amiga User International for a PC
 emulator card which plugs into the A501 slot in a A500, and allows the
 Amiga to operate as a I*M clone. It has up to 1.5M memory on it as well.
 Now, I see a similar card advertised here in Germany, and it comes complete
 with MessyDOS 4.0 and a whole load of goodies.
             My main concern is: Has anyone on the list tried one of these
 cards and does it work. What (if any) are the MessyDOS limitations, or can
 most packages eg Freelance, FrameworkIII ,ACAD etc be run on the Amiga.
             If it runs all the popular packages it looks like a really good
 buy, as its only 798DM (about 150US$), and it means you get the extra memory
 for your Amiga, as well as a I*M clone for that price,
             Regards to all
                           Bill
                           (WMORRISO@ESOC)
