#UU Emplant ?'s
2 messages in this thread
How much does/will the emplant w/PC emu cost? Or at the least , how much does
the emplant cost now.
Also I must say that all those waiting with baited PC emulation thought
remember back to when emplant first came out and hardly even worked.
How will this be avoided in the PC emulation release? Did you learn
anything from the somewhat spotted release of the MAC emu?
Also, do you have any performance data for the emplant? As compared to say
the machine it is emulating? Norton Sysinfo maybe?
The problem with EMPLANT's MAC emulation in it's early days was finances. Pure
and simple. I developed the entire project on an A500 with a VXL*30
accelerator. When it was shipped out, it DID work perfectly with this
configuration. Unfortunately, it was the only configuration it was tested on,
so as fate would have it… it did not work on any machine with extended memory
(A3000, or GVP accelerators).
$100,000+ worth of equipment, and dedicated beta testers later we have a nearly
perfected product (nothing's perfect). The IBM emulation has been in
development for over a year. EVERYTHING we have done with the MAC emulation
(from video drivers to I/O handlers) was designed to be used with ANY other
emulation, such as the IBM emulation. This means that most of work was done by
default (bug squashing included).
I do not even anticipate the frequent software updates common with the MAC
emulation, let alone any problems with it when first released.
