Bob,

I've made the rounds of nearly all the emulators.  No fallacious arguments to
say software emulation is easy or stable can hold up to scrutiny.  take a
close look at what you need to emulate a stock 8mhz ST on any PC, it isnt the
least bit realistic on anything less than a Pemtium2-200 and certainly isn't
stable.  Risc processors have a better time with emulation but don't even try
to waste more of my time saying any intel processor can do a good job of it.
It simply isn't bact up by any fact, and likely never will be.
