Well, the Chameleon, German release I believe, was supposidly a
hardware/software emulation package that is sold commercially 
(and legally!).  

Also, there is another new Hardware/Software package available
called brainSTorm sold by M.A.S.T  (AmigaWorld Feb1991, p.109)
And THIS one looks very promising at $99!

So, if you are going to buy an Amiga to be an ST, you can.
It just might cost ya a bit.
