[comp.sys.amiga.emulations] MSDOS Emulation for the Amiga 2000

cdavis@oucsace.cs.OHIOU.EDU (Charles Davis) (04/12/91)

Hi!  (Sorry if I posted this in the wrong newsgroup the first time :^))

I am considering purchacing an MSDOS (yuk! :^( ) emulator for my Amiga.
Does anyone out there have experience with the following?

	ATonce
	XT Bridgeboard (w/286 or 386 add on, perhaps?)
	AT Bridgeboard
	(Any others out there?)

Questions:

	1.  What are the pros and cons of each?
	2.  Compatability problems?
	3.  Upgrading possabilities (specifically, 386, 486, VGA)?
	4.  Speed, ease of use, mouse, etc.

I have an Amiga 2000 w/5 MB and a 42MB Quantum hard drive.  I have a
couple of versions of the old "Transformer" AT emulator program, but they
refuse to work with my machine :^((, although the very same disk will run
on my friends' A500s!

I need to have MSDOS capability at home, unfortunately, and I don't have
room (or the cash, for that matter!) for buying a cheap clone.  I'm just
a poor grad student!

Does anyone have any input on this?  I really don't want to have a PC clone
sitting next to my nice Amiga, bringing down property values in the 
neiborhood, etc :^).
