Re: Why emulate?

[stupid317@my-dejanews.com]

I just loaded Bernie on a Power Mac G3.  It is alot faster than the real
thing.	I need some help though.  I'm kinda new to this emulation thing. I've
been reading along and noticed how many people actually use this stuff.  How
do I get Bernie to recognize the contents on a zip disk?  Do I have to make a
disk image?  Someone please help.  This is something I've been working on for
a couple of weeks.  At wits end!
