Well, there are two Atari ST emulators - and they're both illegal.
Or supposedly illegal.. a "representitive" from Atari says they
are, as they contain within the PD-ish program the TOS operating
system and Atari propriatary code... 
(this is not to say that I havent seen them work! on the contrary,
  these little atari ST emulators which are just software work
  great!!!)

Not that I'm advocating their use. I am, however, suggesting that
the next person who decides they're going to use Atari TOS
either 1) asks atari first (yeah! like that *might* happen)
       2) Do what the A64Package dude did... make your own *COMPATABLE*
roms which do the SAME tasks written a little differently. THat should
be legal and all, so...

But if the Atari ST is the deciding factor in whether you should buy an Amiga
or not, I say buy it anyway, and wait for someone to come out
with a legal version.
 
I was kinda told, polietely, not to give out my various ST emulator
stuff, so, I'msorry I cannot help you..
