#Amiga 1200 Emulators
4 messages in this thread
Has there been any recent rumors about emulators for the Amiga 1200? Mac, PC or
even software emulation. It would be helpful if I could run a couple of PC
programs from my Amiga.
Thanks,
Jim
Jim,
there are more than rumors out there. For a few years, there have been
programs that attempt to emulate an PC-clone and they do just fine, so
long as speed is not an issue. If you require the same speed as a
PC-clone, then you will want to look at hardware solutions.
The software only solutions are PCTASK.LHA and the emulator available
in the full Cross-DOS 5.0 package available from Consultron. I would
suggest looking at PC-Task first as it is a much more robust emulation
than the one in Cross-DOS.

Thanks Brian,
I didn't realize PC-Task was here. I did download it just now and I will give
it a try, that is as soon as I format a system disk.
Speed is not really an issue, I just need to be able to load a PC program and
at least have it run.
Take it easy.

Utilities Unlimited has designed a PCMCIA Emplant board but as of last
word it won't go into production on them until and if A1200 production
resumes. It seems to me the original AMAX II external Mac emulator (which
plugs into an external flopy drive port) ought to work on an A1200. And
I've got a spare to sell, complete with software and Mac 128K ROMs, if
you're interested in giving it a whirl.
