True, Toad pulled out a few years ago. GEMulator is now free and does not
need any particular hardware. I think the author concentrates on Mac
emulation nowadays.
Toad Computers (www.toad.net) sold a card for the
PC that ran ST software.
I think it was called the Gemulator.
I believe Toad is out of the Atari business now...the last time I checked
out their website, all of the Atari stuff had been removed. I've not been
up to their store in a number of years though. The 'closet' that housed
the 8-bit stuff was always pretty interesting to rummage through. I never
used Gemulator, which does sound correct for the name, but I did use the
8-bit emulator they sold. Does Best Electronics still sell ST stuff? They were
a bit pricey the
last time I looked, but they carried quite a bit. At the time when I had
only FIDO access they were the only place I could find a replacement ST/STE
keyboard for my MEGA.
Best are indeed still in the business. Err, isn't there some US shop
called "Homa", too? Of course, there's the shady System Solutions of the
UK, as well as Keychange Music. And a range of retailers in Germany, of
course.
