Does anyone know whether the Amiga will emulate Apple IIs? I don't want to, but I have an associate that would find it quite useful. On a related not, do the Bridgeboard and AMAX fit into an A3000? This associate is doing work with MAC, IBM, and Apple II for the purposes of running educational software. I know that Amiga has a pretty good selection of Educational software, I am just wondering if it can run everyone elses software as well. Thanks, Bill Murphy murphy@physics.purdue.edu West Lafayette, IN: Where progress takes a back seat to tradition.

There are one or two public-domain/distributable software Apple II emulators for the Amiga. Try look in the anonymous FTP site ab20.larc.nasa.gov. They all require that you own an Apple II and download the ROM. AMAX runs fine on the A3000 (I run AMAXII on my A3000-25.) Bridgeboards also run fine on the A3000 if you do a small trick to prevent caching the Bridgeboard's shared memory. In your Startup-Sequence can either: 1) Disable all caching permanently before running binddrivers, or 2) Use a late-model version of the developer's utility Enforcer to disable caching only on the Bridgeboard's shared memory. With that small fix, you can run Apple II, Macintosh, and IBM software (and more) on an A3000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The DiskDoctor threatens the crew!

The source code for an Apple II emulator is there. I have not tried it so I don't know how good it is. I believe it was the author's first pass at the emulation. | Terry Ricketts | Internet: terry@helios.ucsc.edu | Senior Electronics Engineer | loel@helios.ucsc.edu | Lick Observatory Electronics Lab | Phone: 408-459-2110 | University of Calif, Santa Cruz |
