Or does one alread >y exist? :-) You suppose you could emulate a NeXT on the Amiga ? No, even if it should be possible, it would be guaranteed to be awfully slow. Remember the '030- cube ? But you could try NeXTstep upon Commodores SVR4, I suppose. What bothers me more is this: When is the NeXT going to be able to emulate our beloved AMIGA ? Sure, there are the custom chips to be emulated, but after all the NeXT has an '040 in it... Speed of an emulated Amiga should be somewhat faster than a stock amiga, it might even reach the speed of an '020-Amiga. Of course it would require a Colorstation to emulate the color, but everything else should be possible on a normal NeXTstation. Best regards, Holger -- Holger Lubitz, Kl.
