The PC emulation module for the Emplant like the MAC module is a combination of both hardware and software to do emulation. The PC module will run 386/486 (depending on Motorola CPU speed) emulations in protected mode. It will utilize the Amiga's ISA slots and uses the Emplant's hardware to keep track of hardware interrupts, etc… From early alpha tests, the Emplant on a 25Mhz 040 has a Norton SI rating of about a DX2/66 Intel 486 Overdrive with the PC emulation. No Intel or equivalant processors are used. The emulation will be able to Windows in enhanced mode and will use the various video drivers already used for the MAC emulation for usage in the PC emulation. Sound Blaster is duplicated with Paula. To find out more about it, you're gonna have to talk to Jim Drew of Utilities Unlimited. You are probably doubting this possibility right now. Well, I did as well with the MAC emulation. I am multitasking with the Emplant MAC emulation right now, so my doubts are gone! My 040 A2000 runs the MAC emulation at Quadra 700 speeds! -Jonathan // Amiga online via Autopilot \\// MAC IIcx & 486 emulation via Amiga!
