With Go-64, I can emulate the C-64. I can run a PD VIC-20 emulator on the C-64 emulator. I can also run most Macintosh software with AMAX, ST software with the ST emulator and IBM software with the XT 8086 emulator. The last word in emulators: the SUN emulator. (Not really) But on a hi-res interlace overscan screen with DNET running a SUN-like font in several windows all doing different remote tasks -- my caluclator icon, my digital clock in the corner, my new mail icon and sun mouse do a very good job of simulating the SUN. Since all tasks are running remotely, it doesn't matter that the Amiga is slower than a SUN because the SUN that DNET hooks up to does all the work. How much closer can my Amiga get to a SUN workstation? Jason Freund

By the way, excuse me but I have a question relative to the subject:
Anybody heard of a X-Windows server for the Amiga ???

Don't have the details. BTW, this is what makes the ultimate "Sun emulator". If you use OpenWindows (yes, I know, it's not yet the standard window system) on your Sun, you can run the windows on your Amiga just a well. And as fast, if you're using a Sun-3/50. I wouldn't bet on the speed of this setup if you compare it to a SPARCstation, though. Anybody got benchmark data on the Amiga X server ? -- | lchristoph@Sun.COM (Internet) | Disclaimer: | | ...!unido!sunmuc!lupe (German EUNet, "bang") | My employer has a | | lupe@sunmuc.UUCP (German EUNet, domain) | non-exclusive license | | ...!suninfo!lchristoph (Sun Germany customers) | to my opinion. |
