I heard rumors on AppleLink that Utilities Unlimited are doing a PowerPC/PowerMac Emulation software that emulates Dos, which is capabale of Pentium-speed, Windows and OS/2. Is this true? Where could I get more information about that one??? Jochen Haeberle from southern germany with Mac Navigator or Amiga AutoPilot

Utilities Unlimited have their own BBS at 602 453 9767. Their tech line # is 602 680 9234. They are also represented on the Amiga vendor forum.

PMJI, but for your information… from TidBITS#231/20-Jun-94: **A new PC emulator** from a small Arizona company called Utilities Unlimited International can supposedly run PC software on a Power Mac at Pentium speeds. The company claims that the still-unnamed emulator requires only 1 MB of RAM to run and will provide full 486 emulation, which is slated to appear in Insignia's SoftWindows later this year. If that's not enough, the emulator will supposedly run DOS, Windows, Unix, OS/2, and Windows NT. This may sound like something we'd include in an April Fools issue, but apparently Utilities Unlimited is best known for their Amiga-based Emplant emulators, and Amiga users on the nets, while skeptical, have said that if anyone can do it, Utilities Unlimited can. The emulator is written entirely in assembly for speed, and is slated to ship for about $150 in late summer (Northern Hemisphere). There's not much point in arguing about whether or not what they claim is possible, since they've set themselves a difficult task, and it will be relatively easy to tell when the program ships, if it ships, whether or not it lives up to its promises.

Mario, thanks for your reply. I know they are present on the Amiga Vendor forum. That's why I dropped the quesition here. It is very expensive for me to ring their support BBS from germany, therefore I hope that a representative jumps up on this thread answering my questions.
