 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	Actually, you pay DM 30.00 less for it - compared to the German price
of PC-Ditto II. Also, the company who is the distributor for PC-Ditto II here
in Germany is *reported* (I read here on the net - I don't have any proof
for this) to have trouble getting the PC-Ditto II and is therefore selling the
PC-Speed which *seems* to be available and working!

>Is this much faster than PC-Ditto II ???

>Does anyone have more info ?
>I almost bought PC-Ditto II, but now I'm not sure !!!!
>What is Avant-Garde's comment on this ?

>Please help me decide which emulator to buy !!!
