I think software emulation is great for users who occasionaly need ibmpc software to do a job. Low investment against hardware emulation which will become a white elephant. I'm proposing for an application compiler which convert object program of pc to 68000 amiga application. i bet it will run faster than Transformer and do not has the hassle of booting up msdos. it will even multi-task. I think such a compiler exist in the form of XDOS for 680XX-based UNIX systems. Early 1989 issue of IEEE Spectrum mention about XDOS and give some of its working concept. Any taker for such a project? What about the legal aspect for converting commercial program such as dBase IV or exel? -kkb kbkoh@a1acc1.intel.com
