Amiga Emulation

[melott]

I know this will sound dumb to many
of you but....

I really don't know much of anything
about Amiga emulation.

What are the different Emulators and
what are the advantages and disavantages
to each. What kind of HorsePower do they
need to run well.

I have a 500mhz PC setting here doing
nothing and am wondering if its strong
enough to run an emulator with reasonable
speed. I don't care to run Windows, I would
prefer not emulating Amiga in "Win 98".
Are any of these operating systems a "DOS"
that runs on the 'Intel' chip?

Hmmm..

Doesn't sound like anyone has re-writen
Amiga Dos to run on a INTEL chip.

Windows is slow enough on a 500mhz machine
without emulating Amiga. I can imagine what
it would be like when emulating Amiga.
My A3000-25 would probably look like a 'Rocket
Sled' in comparison.

I'll have to think about it.....

Amithon ......hmmm

Tell me more... I tried the earlier post
marked "HERE". I got Yahoo, but didn't see
where I could get a demo disk.

Is Amithon an operating system or is it
an emulation in a window?

Does it use the sound and video cards or does
it require special cards?

Interested..

Well ..
 
That doesn't sound so good, the legal
problems, I mean.

My PC is an P2 500, sound & video blaster.
I have a CD burner in it and thats about all
I use it for, and thats not very often.
After I upgraded IBrowse I don't even use it for
the internet anymore. Too much garbage on
MS Explorer.

My son sais he has a P3 1gig for me if I want
it but I haven't bothered because I don't use
it enough to be worth while.

I think I should wait and watch for now.
See how things shake out with Amithon.
