>From the WWW page (http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/nino/stemu.html): Description STonX is an Atari ST Emulator for Unix and the X Window System. It is distributed under the GNU License, meaning that source code is available as well - and, of course, it's free software. At the moment, the state STonX is in can only be called "very beta", there are still problems with exotic keyboard layouts and the X support. However, the emulation itself should be quite stable, although not quite as fast as it could be. Here is a 1152x900 screen shot (34KB) of a slow SPARC (SPECint92 13.8) running STonX with the VDI driver and with GEMBench being run. Note that the GEMBench results have to be divided by 2, since the 200Hz system timer was emulated at 100Hz. Also, the results for the VDI functions are likely to change once the implementation is complete. Here are the screenshots published in Atari World: color (showing GRAV2) and monochrome (using the Xlib-VDI driver) modes. The system components currently emulated are: MC68000 CPU 4 or 14MB RAM Color or Monochrome Atari ST graphics modes YM2149 sound chip IKBD (partly) BIOS-level disk routines are available MFP (partly) Mega ST(E) clock chip (buggy) Serial port mapped to host's serial port Parallel port mapped to host's parallel port or file Bootable Unix filesystem interface - no need for Diskfiles anymore! TOS 2.06 runs under the emulator without modification. TOS 1.4 has also been tested with STonX 0.5a and works. 1.0 and 1.2 work with limitations. TOS 2.05 has been tested and works with STonX 0.5.3. A VDI driver for X Windows is also available, which will speed up the graphics output of GEM applications by a factor of 20-70 (roughly).
