Actually, according to Derek Michocka (whatever...the author), on a  
386/33, the Gemulator will run a little faster than a standard STe.  On a  
486/33, it should run about twice as fast.  On whatever comes next, it's  
speed will increase accordingly.  Not only that, but you can actually  
multitask with it running.  You can have Gemulator running as a full  
screen DOS session under Windows or OS/2 and switch between it and other  
DOS/Windows/OS/2 apps.  Another cool thing is that Darek was hinting  
towards the fact that it will actually run Spectre 3.0!  So we'll have  
Mac, ST and PC in one box.

My question is whether it will support an aftermarket sound board like  
Soundblaster Pro to emulate the STe sound...
