Mac and 586 emulation on Emplant, how good is it?
« on: June 22, 2012, 04:53:47 PM »
I'm interested in Emplant board, but there is not much information on the board and the software.
Are there any users here who have one and can share their experience with the Emplant board.
How is the Mac emulation compare with Shapeshifter?
How is the 586 emulation compare with PCTask?

Also, anyone made a Youtube video showing Emplant working? I have search and found nothing.

I'm asking questions because I just acquired software for Emplant in a batch sale and I wondered if it's worth buying the actual card.
From the docs on the disks I read that 586 emulation it's software only, but it does require to install the Mac portion of the software. It also needs a PC bios file.
It would be nice if someone made a Youtube video showing how it works.

The software that I acquired came with some chips ( I believe it came from Emplant board)
P1-4692-2
P2-2693
P3-3993-C
P4-2693
P5-2993
Logic L53C80PC-2 (I seen this one on Emplant from the database pics)
Anyone knows anything about them?
Thanks in advance.

Did you end up getting your emplant board working with the e586 module?
No not yet, and from the discussions it looks like there is no real benefits running the MAc/PC emulations vs Mac fusion/PCTask software.
I may keep an eye on it and get it, if is cheap, as a historical value.
