	I have in front of me the "The Amiga Sentry" magazine, which I never
saw before until COMDEX. They reviewed the GO-64 emulator.

The company is:

	Software Insight Systems
	16E International Drive
	East Granby, CT. 06026

	(203) 653-4589

	Price: $129.00 retail

I was in a Commodore store today, and saw the product box laying there,
so I guess it isn't vaperware.

	The article said BASIC programs run 90% to 100% of native speed.

	Hope this helps.
