Then get a copy of TheA64Package by Questronix. It is a rather nice C64 emulator. Much better than commercial ones and this fine piece of shareware is 30.00+SH that includes a hardware adapter that alows you to use 64 DD's and printers. Now it wont be fast as a 64 but if you gotta play MULE... ya gotta play MULE... If you want if I'll post some more just ask.. -- adam hill "I will tell you three things.." hill@evax.arl.utexas.edu Make Up Your Own Mind.. AMIGA! Amiga... Multimedia NOW!! 24 Bit Color(n.) Large waster of bandwidth. "Amiga walk with me ........"
