The new MS-DOS Emulator transforms every CPC into an IBM-compatible PC. Does this transformation payoff, or are you better off buying a completely new PC?
The rumours rumors about a MS-DOS emulator for Schneider computers has been around for a long time but we have had to wait for it until now.
Our practical test will show if it has been worth the wait. The first optical impression of the emulator hints its purpose - the emululator emulator is housed in a half size IBM-cabinet. Hidden inside is an almost complete computer based on the Intel 8088 processor, 512Kb ram, one or two 5 1/4 5¼ inch disc drives (40 track, double sided, 360Kb capacity, DOS-Format) and one slot for hardware expansions (Standard IBM cards in long form (ISA?))
The emulator is connected directly to the expansion bus of the CPC via a cable. (A version for the Joyce has also been announced and will appear at the end of this year)
...
After running several well-known MS-DOS programs, our last scepticism skepticism disappears: The emulator keeps its promises!
What is a practical test without a benchmark?
* Last minute:
Just before deadline we received news from the emulator manufacturer. The version of the emulator wich which we tested has been completely sold out and no more of this version will be built.
Instead a new version will be released. This new generation will have 256Kb main memory and one drive.
'''Negative: No MS-DOS is delivered with the device
