No, there wasn't.  There was a fancy debugger, which tied into an Amiga
but allowed development and control to take place on an IBM PC system.
In no way was it an Amiga emulator.

True - but this isn't an emulator, either.

This was the Greenhills compiler, a very nice compiler.  Even so, this
wasn't an Amiga emulator either - just a facility for developing on
another platform, since native development on the early Amiga was an
exercise in *extreme* frustration.
