Alright, I'm game.  Is it possible to program an Amiga emulator for the ST?
Wouldn't all the blitter routines give the ST major problems (until the
upgrade comes out)?  If it could be done, wouldn't that be amazing?  One the
of the main reasons I bought the ST was the number of emulators promised by
various sources.  I use IBM's and Mac working for Cornell Computer Services
(as a lowly student operator, though) and would really like to be able to do
all of my work on my ST, which is infinitely preferable to working in a
terminal room.  David Small has done extremely well with the Sac (although
only one person has replied to my plea for information about what runs and
what doesn't.  If anyone else sends me information I'll post a list to the
net for all to read and hopefully be impressed by.), but Atari has been
fairly unimpressive with their MS-DOS emulator, which I though would be out
sooner.  And now the possibility of the 8-bits and even maybe someday the
Amiga.  I am in awe!  Thanks to all those people who have worked on these
projects.
