Does anyone have a C64 emulator? I've seen C64 emulator II listed,
is it worth the $49 asking price? Also, is a C64 5 1/4 inch disk
compatible with AMY? What would I need to do to get the 5 1/4 inch
games disks coppied to my AMY's 3 1/2 inch disk, is this supported
or would I need to include a permenant 5 1/4 inch disk for my system?
How well does the C64 emulator work? I have a friend that has tons
of C64 software, and have been considering getting the emulator,
if someone has been doing this, please respond with as much information
as possible regarding the PRO's and CON's of this configuration.
Thanks!

All thje 64 emulators I have seen can just emulate commodore basic
or commodore wordprocessers or anything without graphics.

I still believe that the best emulator for a C=64 *is* a C=64. If your
kids want to play (usually heavily copy-protected) C=64 games, you're
much better off with a used C=64 feeding into the TV set (or better yet
an inexpensive NTSC monitor).
For a modest extra investment (less than the cost of a good Amiga
application or productivity tool), you gain the ability to use the
Amiga while your kids play games and you can set aside the fear that
they'll damage Ami with sticky fingers and/or static electricity.
