Sound like a pretty worthless exercise to me. How much are you going to charge for this product? Remember that I can buy a C64 nowadays for <$150, and it will run all C64 software. (The disk drive doesn't count, since you'd have to buy that for the Amiga too). Really, if you want to run software for somebody else's computer, the best way is to buy that computer. This is especially true in the case of the C64, where the machine itself is very cheap. When you also consider the fact that Amiga software (even as crummy as it currently is) is a few generations beyond C64 software, there really is no need to emulate a C64 period. -- Mike Portuesi / Carnegie Mellon University Computer Science Department ARPA: mjp@spice.cs.cmu.edu UUCP: {harvard | seismo | ucbvax | decwrl}!spice.cs.cmu.edu!mjp BITNET: s314mp1u@cmccvb (but only if you must) "Amiga hackers do it graphically, with lots of sound effects"
