    The ST can not emulate an Amiga, simply because it does not have the
graphics/sound harware to do everything an Amiga can.  However, the Amiga
could in theory emulate an ST (It would obviously be _much_ slower than
an ST.

    BTW,  a real ST emulator is indeed quit feasible.  After all they
both use the MC68000, don't they.  The hard part would be to get AmigaDOS
to read TOS disks.
