Tell me all about it, but yours truly here has PC-Task 4.4, nyaaa nya nyaa!
:) Well, on my 040/25MHz 68K it's not that much fun. In fact, it's exactly
half the performance I had with my 040/40MHz - and that's quite a
difference. So how on earth did I manage with PC-Task on my 030/50 in 1997?
And I ran (crawled ;) windoze on it! :))
Seriously though, any PPC PC emulator would be dead handy for me, and it
would exercise it nicely. Even if I only get low end 486 performance I
would be very happy. :) So come on someone there's a niche here to explore!
;) Anyways, the PPC is Bi Endian so that's one bottleneck out of the way!

Buy a PC, but I'd be damned if I bought a PC and ran windoze on it ;) In
fact i was really more interested in whether there was a PPC PC emulation
in the works and then I suddenly thought of these bridgeboard things :)
I'd buy a PC, but only for the Amiga SDK! :)

Nick.
