     Whoever seriously considers an Amiga emulator on a Mac likely knows
very little about both the hardware and software of both systems.  The
custom chips: How in the world will you emulate the blitter or copper
at anything remotely approaching their speed?  The operating systems:
The reason AMAX exists is the inherent simplicity of the Mac's OS.  The
Amiga emulates the Mac; I don't think that could work vice-versa.
What about the Amiga's hardware multitasking?  How can the Mac properly
emulate multitasking when it can't even do it right with its own OS?!
I could go on, but I'm not going to, since I just don't have the time
to list the multitude of other problems.  The final word, in my opinion:
An Amiga emulator on any PC would have to be the Amiga itself without
a keyboard or RAM.
