I'm the one who made a posting "I've got a PD ST Emulator! Who wants it?" Right now, I am swamped. Be patient, I'll get it to you in a week or so. -Rich

As a former ST owner and future A3000 owner, I must wonder how this emulation can be accomplished without copying the ST ROMs. If this is being done in some sort of pseudo-legal fasion, then it is truly an achievement, but if the Atari ROMs are being pirated, look for trouble from a very litigous Atari Corp. Personally, I hope it is true and I hope that they aren't hassled by Atari so I can use my ST software library on the A3000 until I build up my new Amy library. > >-- >Disclaimer: None needed... my lawyer makes more money than yours. >uucp: ...!{allegra,amd,hplabs,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!prism!gt5784a >ARPA: gt5784a@prism.gatech.edu Cheers, Chris ------------------------------+--------------------------- Chris Mauritz |Where there's a BEER, cmm1@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu |there's a plan.

I would find using the st emulator on the 3000 next to impossible. Atari had to do some extensive work on the rom to get the TT to work right. They did quite a few NO-NO's with instructions that the 68000 didn't use but the 68020/30 did. If it does work right, hey, sounds good to me.

(514) Maison, 466-8932 DHD, 489-8989 Fax, 489-0242 To clear the air (*cough!*) of all this TOS legal thing: In order to use the PD ST Emulator, one must acquire TOS on DISK! Only the very old ST's came with TOS on disk (much like the Amiga 1000 with Kickstart). I don't own an ST, but if I am correct, most commercial auto-book programs come with the essentials of TOS on them, so TOS on disk is not necessary for the ST Emulator to work. I have also found out that it is very difficult to get your hands on a LEGAL copy of TOS on disk. So, to sum it up, THIS PROGARAM IS LEGAL. Y'all should relax a bit. Please, no flames.
