There is a shareware product that will allow you to do this called
AmigaEMS.  It's on Fred Fish 687.  I havn't tested it on a a 386sx but
it worked fine on a 286 version.

The way I handled this was to boot off of the first virtual drive and
Jlink the second one. Another way is to have multiple smaller Jlinked
files and connect and disconnect (mount) from them through batch files.
Example:

JLINK E: ram:WPAPPS    (insert appropriate switches)(you could open multiple)
E:
CD WORDtext
WT.EXE
C:
JLINK E: /u

I like to connect my old C64 equipment to the Amiga and run there some of my

Now I like to get some information about the A64 Package from Questronix.
Anybody using this emulation package and like to comment?
Is it usable and worth it's money?

Thanks a lot

Quite fast in fact!

Well, it pops up the KS1.3 startup screen (the hand with WB disk), and that's
it. When you insert the disk, it immediatly crashes. It is just a joke. 
Quite funny in fact, I can just imagine all those PC-guys trying to figure
out what he did wrong. :)

Believe me, Amiga can't be emulated without hardware. I've heard of
dos.library emulation for UNIX, but that's just about useless.. Most programs
use other libraries as well.

Considering it was released at a demo party, it's probably a "joke" emulator

Im trying to install a 2 meg Intel above board for my A2286 Janus 2.1.
I want the mem to be all expanded...but emmm.sys keeps complaining that
another board is taking up all the reserved memory (384k extended).
Oh yeah...MsDos 5.0.
I've tried telling emm.sys specific page locations to use...but it always 
says they are allready in use.
I have removed everything from config.sys except for:
device=emm.sys at 258
files=20
Is the Janus stuff occupying all the mem?  Do I need to disable the 384k
of extended on the A2286?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have been unable to get System 7 to boot with Emplant v1.7, 
even though it claims to be compatible with it.  Has anyone
else had any luck?

I am using an Amiga 3000, with 2 Chip and 4 Fast RAM, and I'm
able to get a max of 2.8 megs available (of Fast RAM) to use with
it.  I think that amount is enough for system 7, so what's the 
problem?

: I've seen a few ATOnces offered for sale on local BBSes for less than

: wondering if these things are lousy or what.  Specifically, I'd
: like to know:

I had an ATonce-Plus last summer but I sold it because I had no use (well,
not very much) for it. It's quite stable and fast but screen updates aren't
the fastest in world (good enough, though). I also had some problems with
ATonce-Plus sound emulation (there should be no problem with the classic
model sound). Do you have a specific program to run? 

: 1. What's the clock speed?

In ATonce-Plus it's 7,14 MHz and in Plus model it is 16 MHz.

: 2. What kind of display is emulated (EGA I assume?)

Colour CGA, Hercules (fast), Mono VGA and EGA emulations are there
also but if you need those buy KCS's PC emulator, it has colour EGA and
16 colour VGA and they are fast I've been old, ATonce's VGA/EGA are not
very fast and buggy but work with Windows.

: 3. Does it work with 2.04?

The version (software) 2.33 and 3.0 are working with 2.04 very well.

: 4. Does it work with a hard drive?

Yes it does.

: 5. Does it multi-task?

This is what KCS doesn't do but ATonc does, it will slow Amiga side down
quite much but it works.

: 6. What kind of problems could one expect (compatibility, etc)
:    if one was put into a 500?

I think you should first give a good look to the KCS Power PC Board, it's
only 8 MHz 8086 (V30?) with 704/640 memory possibility but I think it might
be faster with screen updates and there are VGA/EGA colour modes and much
better compatibility under these modes, ATonce is best under Hercles and it
has good features like unlimited memory setup. KCS is limited to the
640 under VGA/EGA and 704 under other modes (CGA, Hercules...), it
support extended/expanded (which one? =) memory and I'm not sure if you can 
use more memory with latest versions? Anyhow, if you need more processor
speed (ATonce-Plus) and AT features buy ATonce-Plus, if VGA/EGA is more
important I'd go with KCS, don't buy ATonce 7 MHz (classic) model, Plus
is a beter choice or KCS.

These are just my own opinions, I'm no way related to the Vortex or KCS.

James,
I hope you didn't reset using CTRL-Amiga-Amiga.  In order to exit from the MAC 
Finder, you MUST use the shutdown option and then reset.  That kind of stuff 
happens when you cold boot directly.  It has to do with the way the MAC finder
works.  It saves when it wants.

SoftwareFPU checks out your hardware on boot-time. If you have an FPU 
(build in in the 68040) allready SoftwareFPU does not install, as it 
does not make sence emulating existing hardware.

only running at 2400 until my new modem arrives (1 month).

	Once I get my Emplant working, I will also have numerous
Macintosh files available. BTW, there is internet email and csa groups
with post access but limited read access, and email works fine.

	Remember! If you use the ANONYMOUS account some of the previous
callers will have canged the settings, so they may have files waiting to
be downloaded or revised the pointers in the message bases. If you have
any problems, try to page me for chat (I could be here any time of day)

Hi. I have been hearing many good things about the EMPLANT board for the amiga.
Currently I own an PC & Atari ST.. I have a contract to do some mac work, yet
I don't want to spend the $$$ on a Mac when I can get something cheaper.. I
have been considering the amiga w/ one of these boards. I don't know too much
about the amiga itself (a friend of mine has one), but I know the amiga side
will be ok for my needs.

	 What I would like are some specs on the EMPLANT
board, like price, compatability, reputability of the company, etc.
I need to run FoxPro for mac when it comes out, so I will probably be stressing
the mac end 'to the limit'. What kind of color support does it offer? Does it
emulate a II series machine (IIci, II LC etc), or one of the older models 
(Classic, se30, etc)? If the speed is 7 times faster than a classic, that
should be enough for me.. Is there any kind of limitation as to how much
RAM is supported? I would LIKE to be able to get a 'mac' running with AT LEAST
8 or 9 megs, and a 150-200 meg drive and probably 800x600 colour..

To get an amiga 3000 with those kind of specs, how much $$ are we talking??

And then, how much more for the EMPLANT?
I know you guys have fixed the flicker problems, but does the normal 3000
come with the fix these days, or is that a small 'addition'?? 
Do you still need to buy ROMS for the EMPLANT? If so, which ones? I assume
System 7.01 (or whatever the latest version is) runs ok?

Thanks for any and all help,
Mattias
