I just downloaded a program for the PC that claims to be an Amiga emulator that runs on a MS-DOS 386 machine. I do not trust it since it comes with almost no documentation. Has anyone heard anything about it. I downloaded it off our Club bulletin board: Club Amiga (Houston TX) (713) 528-7511. its about 150K Any information would be appreciated...... -- Mike Kent - Lockheed Engineering and Sciences Company at NASA JSC 2400 NASA Rd One, Houston, TX 77058 (713) 483-3791 KENT@vf.jsc.nasa.gov

The bits I've read basically state that (1) it doesn't run, and has no chance of running, and (2) it contains a copy of Exec.

My friend who has an IBM got this "Amiga Emualtor" also. The documentation requires you to have KickStart 1.2 on a 5.25" disk (or for drive A:). None of them got the program to work. Oh well.
