There is no such thing, there is no such )thing, there is no such thing.... Actually, I saw such an emulator at a local BBS once. The archive was approximately 300 kb, but I downloaded it anyway (at 300 bps!)--we all know why--but the gizmo required an extra drive and a BLiTTER, and since I had a 1040 STfm, I had none of these. The README claimed that the emulator would emulate (!) an Amiga 1000 but not the HAM mode, and not the sound, and not... Perhaps it should have stated what it would emulate instead. I never got that clear. ;-) Also, a copy of the Amiga Workbench was required. The manual stated that there would be a commersial version available soon (this was the PD ver.), but I haven't heard anything since. Probably they gave up and bought an Amiga. Seems the easiest thing to do, and you can use both computers at the same time. (That's *real* multitasking, folks!)
