Marty's mini-emulator

(1 / 1)


Marty asked me to give you my input on his proposed mini-emulator, probably
because at one time I was considering doing something similar.

If there is only going to be one built it is not a cost-effective use of
Marty's time.

Buying a cheap emulator would undoubtedly require an enormous amount of time
to debug and is, again, not a cost effective use of Marty's time.

If there are to be several made the danger is that various people will not 
be happy unless it duplicates or surpasses the functions of the AMS.
Doing a full scale emulator is not a cost effective use of Marty's time.

Making an emulator whose functions are transparent to the target hardware
is not trivial.
