  You can add BBC BASIC to the list. I've also heard that there's an Amstrad
CPC emulator but have never seen it.  You should also be able to emulate the
Apple ][ from  a Mac emulator.  As for an Amiga emulator well -- it's a nice
thought but I wouldn't like to do a port of AmigaDOS (which is Tripos based)
There  is an 'Amiga emulator' out  but it's  a spoof  emulator. It basically
displays a picture of the Amiga workbench but that's about it .
