	Dave Small has on several occasions said he is *NOT* going to
port the Magic Sac or the Spectre 128 to the Amiga.  Dave did mention
the possibility of porting his work to the Amiga but there was very
little interest expressed in the product by Amiga owners.  This
convinced him not to pursue it any further.

	There is a good possibility that a Macintosh emulator will be
released for the Amiga.  The developer (who lives outside the US) has
been talking to a couple of different publishers and last I heard
(about 6 weeks ago) had made a deal with one of them.  It should be
available sometime between now and the end of the 1st quarter '89,
assuming they are serious about releasing it (ie. they spend the
time & money to get it ready to ship).
