GS >>Does anybody know how to emulate an Amiga 600 using a Mac LC475?<< You have a Mac, and want to emulate an Amiga using the Mac? Currently, it can't be done. While the Amiga is a 68000-CPU based computer, its design uses several intergrated custom chips that function as graphic & sound co-processors. It emulate the Amiga, you have to emulate the functions of these chips transparently to software, or somehow include the chips on an expansin board for the emulator's use. However, the Amiga can do a very good emulation of the Mac, since most of the Mac's features can be emulated in software at a decent pace with the other features (ports) added through hardware. – Ron.
