>Jeff, what other emulators have you created and where can they be located?

I've got several.  At the same site are ts1000.zip and model1-b.zip which are
Timex/Sinclair 1000 and TRS-80 Model I emulators.  I'm also in the final
stages of marketing a TRS-80 Model III/4 emulator through a software publisher.
(ts1000.zip is freeware, model1-b.zip is shareware.  They're both early trials
so they're slower than the CoCo and III/4 emulators, but if you register the
Model I emulator, you get a newer version which is 150% faster.)

I've also seen PC emulators that do Commodore 64's and Apple II's, but they're
scarce because they include ROM images, and so sites are nervous about having
them.  (Many T/S 1000 emulators are available though that do include the ROM.
The reason being that apparently the copyright defaulted after the company 
folded.)

BTW, I was also working on an Atari 2600 emulator.  I figured I could get more
life out of those Atari game cartridges, but in the end I shelved it.  It 
didn't seem worth the effort.  (I wrote Atari in August to see if they were
interested, but I've never heard back.)  I'd even worked out a way to plug the
cartridges into the parallel port.
