This  is a executable-only update of ZXAM Spectrum Emulator 2.0b, released
to  fix  the  problem  it  had with the new Blizzard 1260 accelerator (the
computer  was completely unusable with the emulator running, as it freezed
the whole system most of the time, affecting even to the emulator itself).
It's  only  the  FULL  GENERIC  executable, because I think that the 68060
doesn't need the FASTER or SPECIAL AGA versions ;-)

The  problem  was with the MOVEP instruction, that was extensively used in
the  original  ZXAM  executables,  but  is  not  implemented  in the 68060
processor, so it must be emulated by soft by the 68060.library. Strangely,
the  problem  appeared  only  with the Blizzard 1260, as the original ZXAM
2.0b  runned  fine  over the Cyberstorm 4060 accelerator. There seem to be
something strange in the Blizzard 1260, or something exceptionally good in
the Cyberstrom 4060, but now the problem is fixed, so doesn't matter :-)

Please,    get    the    full    distribution    set   of   the   emulator
(misc/emu/ZXAM20b.lha),  that  includes  all the documentation and extras,
and better (faster) versions for 68020/030/040.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL SPECTRUM FREAKS: Please, sorry for the BIG delay
in  the  release  of  the 128k version. I was really busy during all these
months (I am very busy yet...), so I couldn't dedicate to the emulator all
the time I would like to, but the development of the emulator has NOT been
dropped.

I  am delaying so much that I though about renaming the project as ZXAM 96
or something simmilar ;-)))))
