John: What I'd like to know is if there's a way to use the 68000 that's in my machine rather than having it sleep on the job while the 68030 does all the work! It sure would be nice is something like say AMAX could run on the 68000 while ADOS is running on the 68030 at the same time rather than having to devote the whole machine to AMAX or ADOS. Then with a BB it'd be possible to switch between AmigaDOS/Mac/MS-DOS all in the same session! All that we'd need after that is some way of having all three talk to each other, and it'd be like a network all in one box. 🙂 I know there was a company that made an XT board that was basically an Apple IIC on a card so that PC's could use Apple II programs, so with that added, it'd be 4 machines, and add the German Atari emulator (the one that really works) and it's up to 5, get a version of Unix that cooperates with AmigaDOS, and it's 6, gee, this could keep on going and going… I guess if I could get the 68000 working as well as the 68030 that alone would be really nice. -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
