          Apple IIGS Emulation for Power Macintosh Computers!


                                 *****

              Fast Eddie Labs releases Fast Eddie Beta 1


Fast Eddie Labs, Switzerland - 12/22/96 - Fast Eddie Labs announced
today the immediate availablity of a beta release of its Apple II
emulation software code-named "Fast Eddie". This unique software product
marks a new achievement in Apple II emulation history - Fast Eddie is
the first publicly available emulator for Macintosh computers that
emulates the most powerful Apple II computer ever, the Apple IIgs.

Fast Eddie Labs has invested a tremendous amount of development time in
order to provide the public with a reliable emulation software in 1996,
the year the Apple IIgs celebrated its 10th anniversary. This public
beta is the beginning of a series of updates that will bring you the
most powerful, most versatile and most enjoyable virtual Apple II.

Fast Eddie was started in 1994 by Andre Horstmann, a long-time Apple
IIgs programmer with special interest in CPU design, but put on ice soon
after that. During a developers' meeting in early 1996, Andre Horstmann
and Henrik Gudat agreed on resurrecting the Fast Eddie project and
turning it into a fully functional Apple IIgs emulator. Urs Hochstrasser
joined the team and added debugging tools that greatly simplified
development.

Fast Eddie emulates a Apple IIgs computer with up to eight 3.5" disk
drives, up to 8Mb RAM, keyboard, joystick and mouse. Furthermore, the
user can choose between both ROM versions (ROM images not included) for
maximum compatibility. It supports all video modes (40/80 text, mixed,
hires, double hires, super hires) and a superfast memory management
scheme for top performance. Contrary to other emulators, Fast Eddie
features no-compromise Ensoniq sound emulation with mono, stereo, stereo
enhanced and mind-blowing Dolby Pro Logic surround sound. On the
peripherals side, you'll be pleased to know that you can mount up to 8
disks of several gigabytes each. One device is reserved for the built-in
disk drive that can deal with ProDOS, HFS and MS-DOS disks without
requiring you to make disk images or activate PC Exchange.

This beta has been released due to the incredible demand for such an
emulation software. Fast Eddie protects your past investments in Apple
II software and offers you a convincing way for painless migration to
the Power Macintosh platform. Fast Eddie Labs is working on several
additional components that will be released in due time, including
emulation and sound core in PowerPC assembly language, low-level disk
access, and much more.

Fast Eddie is sold as a shareware product. To simplify payment, Fast
Eddie Labs is cooperating with Kagi Shareware, a company specialized in
processing shareware fees (http://www.kagi.com). A single user license
is available for US$25. Please contact Fast Eddie Labs for site licenses
and special pricing for educational institutions.

Fast Eddie Labs is a spin-off of Bright Software, a renowned provider
of productivity, entertainment and scientific software with over a dozen
releases including the popular ShadowWrite, Hermes, The Gate (editor's
choice), SpaceFox, ShadowDial, Symbolix, MultiView II, among others.
Since 1989, Bright Software has been developing unique software products
for Apple II computers, and the release of Fast Eddie gives evidence of
our commitment to the Apple II platform.
