I just read that there is the new ATonce emulator for the A500. Does anybody have the specifications on what it can do and whether it has any known bugs. All I know is that it allows multitasking with the AmigaDOS. I know that some of the KCS boards have a few bugs, so I was wondering if the ATonce is a worthy buy. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I installed the ATonce on my 1 meg, no HD Amiga and it works fine. The only problem is slower loading of AmigaDos. I'm using MS-DOS 3.3 and a whole load of pro software - all of which works just like on an AT/286 machine. The speed is about 6.1 X standard PC when in four colour CGA, and about 4.9 when in 16 colour CGA. I've been sharing the two floppy drives between MS-DOS and Amiga dos. Provided that the MS-DOS load drive is kept free of Amiga disks the B: drive can be used for either Amiga or MS-DOS according to need. So far no problems, (apart from using MS-DOS which is a problem in itself).
