The SuperCharger is a small box that contains an NEC 8-MHz V30 microprocessor, RAM and supporting chips and plugs into your ST's DMA port. Its SuperCharger was designed in Germany, is manufactured in California and is being distributed by an English company. The news of the first full-speed, hardware-based PC emulator comes from a surprising quarter, a here-to-fore unknown company called Talon Technologies. TALON TECHNOLOGIES' SUPERCHARGER: A FUJI-SPEED PC PC emulation also has been slow because Avant-Garde's pc-ditto has done the whole job in software. But because of the difference in disk formats, the ST could only read Mac disks through the slow and expensive Translator One.
Until now, the only truly effective emulator has been for the Apple Macintosh. Thanks to the continued development of add-on hardware, the ST's ability to emulate other computers is at a new high. And for the price of $399, it's cheaper than a Talon Technologies' SuperCharger is a 512K 'PC in a box' that plugs into the DMA port and offersĮasy PC compatibility without opening up your ST.
