Mike,
I actually do not have an Emplant board. When I purchased my 4000 I
wanted an Emplant but the only emulation that was available was Macintosh
when I needed PC immediately. I knew it was forthcoming but I could not
wait so I bought a A2386SX BirdgeBoard instead for $225.00US. Everything I
have heard and read about the Emplant has been positive. The prices for
Emplant vary from $279.95 to $399.95. I guess you should wait unitl you
visit North America. If I could do it all over again I would definitely
get the Emplant board and a 4000T.
I run OS/2, Windoze and DOS without any problems. I wanted something
on the PC side that was 32 bit and capable of Multitasking and OS/2 seems
to work well. I guess it is because I have 4 hard disks in my machine (2
for the Amiga and 2 for the PC). I have an entire host of PC apps that
run a bit slow but is more than adequate for most purposes.
Sorry for rambling on but I think as far as emulation is concerned you
can never have too much information on what it takes to have acceptable
results.
One other thing that I am not sure of is if the Emplnat board is
capable of utilizing ISA expansion cards to make use of PC hardware.
Maybe someone else has the answer to that. Like I said in my first post
you may want to drop a line to Jim Drew at Utilities Unlimited for more
detailed information on this topic.
Good Luck.
Just Multitasking Operating Systems AmigaDos & OS/2.
