%% Emulation Rambler Special: All the Emulators in the World! %%
%% By Jason Compton (jcompton@tcity.com) %%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ok, not all of them. After all, I'm only talking about the Amiga, and
I'm sure that they're not ALL here. But there's a whole lot of them,
and I figured I'd bore everyone to death if I included it in ER proper,
so here it is, the largest single list of emulators in the world that I know
of!
If you want to reprint it, just throw in a little "with permission" blurb
about Amiga Report and throw a "V1.0" or something on it.

so the sysinfo programs say.

Macintosh Emulators
Name Approx. price Company
A-Max 4 See note ReadySoft
Note: A-Max 4 is an upgrade to A-Max II+, a Zorro-board which did mono
Mac emulation. As an entire new package, it could well run $500. As an
upgrade, I believe the cost hangs around $250.
Emplant Mac v3.7 See note Utilities Unlimited
Note: Emplant is a board available in 4 different configurations (the Mac
software is included) Cost ranges from $280 to $400, depending on options.
CPM/Z80 (all believed free)
Name Origin
SimCPM Canada
ECPM Sweden

Z80Emulator103 Phil Brown-U.K.
Note: This is truly an emulation of a Z80 chip, not a particular computer or
OS.
Assorted Emulators (all believed free)
Name Origin
ZX-Spectrum 1.6 Peter McGavin-New Zealand
QLemulator U.K.
APPLE2 U.S.A.
Apple II+ C code ?
Note: I've seen the C code for an Apple II emulator floating around...it
doesn't
compile very well on an Amiga.
GameBoy68000 ??
Note: The legitimacy of this is questionable, as I've never seen it run
anything
other than Tetris. However, someone went through the trouble to write
Tetris in Z80 code, presumably used by the program...
Wow! There you have it, the most complete list I know of. Please
contact either Angelo or myself with comments, corrections, or
additions. Keep the emulators warm.
