Sorry, I meant for the Amiga... running 68k software on a 68k. That's what I
was thinking, cos UAE is reasonable on a modern PC, but just doesn't hack it
on the Amiga cos it's interpreting everything. Think about it, being able to
pause Cannon Fodder, swap screens and check your mail, and then continue...
I was thinking, maybe it's a related reason to the necessity to reserve low
memory for Mac emulation, the emulated Amiga would try to hit the real
hardware, and cause all sorts of problems...
Regards,
Rob
