I note that Commodore Amiga (and other vendors) sell software > emulators for the 8086 that have reasonable performance on the 68000. Obviously, a non-amiga-owner. Anyone who has had experience whith the "Down's Syndrome" PC emulator (Transformer) realizes that software emulations (interpretive ones) are absolute SH*T. Don't get me wrong, I think the 386 is gonna lose in the CPU wars. COME ON GUYS!! KEEP THIS DISCUSSION IN net.micro.68k or net.micro.pc OK?? Ed Chaban Plexus Computers Inc.
