A few months ago I posted an April Fools posting from the future about the
'new' Amiga 4000 with the Playdo (tm) buss. Whatever hardware you plugged into
the buss convinced the Amiga that it was indeed compatible with the hardware
and would merrily run along thinking that it was a cray, vax, etc.
With all the new emulations coming out, I think I was closer to the truth than
I realized:
1> BridgeCard - Let's Amiga run MSDOS, OS/2 and use IBM hardware.
2> Amax - Amy emulates a Macintosh
3> Someone mentioned that an Apple ][ emulator for the Mac might work under
Amax.
4> Commodore is working on Unix Sys V for Amiga.
5> X windows is being worked on.
6> Someone mentioned wanting to start working on an Atari ST emulator.
7> There was a public domain CP/M emulator on the net a few months ago
8> There are a couple Commmodore 64 emulators out there.
Sheesh. If the Apple ][ and ST emulator are realized the Amiga would become
compatible with most of the personal computers on the market. All this and
multitasking too.
It's mind boggling isn't it?
Bogglingly yours,

Just a note. There is an apple ][ card available for IBM. I imagine it would fit in a bridge board slot nicely... Andrew A1S @ PSUVM Have a day. :-|

Another note. There is a IBM-Transformer card for the Apple ][. Now do you suppose the Apple ][ emulator for the IBM which is stuck in a bridge slot sees those slots as Apple ][ slots? Then you could re-transform your Amiga into an IBM <AT>. I tell you, the future is here. Ido (The ID) Amin --- iddos@taurus.BITNET --- My opinions are mines
