I have i have in my possession something that is called an Amiga Emulator.
It was produced by Metacomco (at least, that's what it says) and we all
know Metacomco had a *lot* to with the Amiga operating system.

I cannot check the working of the program, as it requires a blitter
installed in the ST. Whether it's a trick or not, I don't know. As far
as I know there are *very* few blitters outside of the Atari office
in Silicon Valley. So, where did 'Metacomco' get the blitter to
develop the emulator?

But then again, if it's true, it would make a nice gadget :)
