Replying to first post ....
I prefer to think of Amiga emulation as one of the many options that are available to us in the Amiga community.
My A2000HD has a 68000 CPU and runs AmigaOS 3.1.
My MicroA1 has an IBM PPC750GX CPU and runs OS4.
On my MicroA1, I use the AmigaOS4/PPC version of E-UAE to provide a more compatible environment for some of my older 68K programs that want to see the classic Amiga chipset or certain features that are not available in OS4. I emulate a classic amiga with a 68000 CPU, ECS chipset, NTSC and AmigaOS 3.1. I'm running the 68000 CPU speed at max setting.
E-UAE creates a classic Amiga on my OS4 desktop. I usually run it in full screen mode, or I can do a "ctrl alt s" and run it as a window on my OS4 Workbench. In any case it has it's own Workbench and drawers just like on a normal Amiga running AmigaOS 3.1.
I also used E-UAE when I installed TVPaint and Real3D on my MicroA1. E-UAE allowed me to mount the .adf files as floppy disks and AmigaOS 3.1 gave me access to an older version of the installer program. I installed TVPaint and Real3D onto my hard drive, quit E-UAE and used OS4 Workbench to drag the TVPaint and Real3D drawers out to where I keep my other applications. Both programs run fine from my OS4 Workbench.
In summary, 68K programs like Amiga Explorer, Final Writer 97, Personal Paint, TVPaint, Real3D, IBrowse 2.4, AmigaAMP, MakeCD, MicroRexx, and KingCON work just fine on my OS4 Workbench using the 68K emulation provided by OS4. I just launch them and OS4 takes care of the emulation. I launch E-UAE when I want to run my really old 68000 stuff or install programs that are supplied as Amiga ADF files. Then I have a classic Amiga Workbench running on my OS4 Workbench.
