Alcuin is a multitasking shareware Saturn CPU emulator for Amiga
computers, used to emulate HP 48 S/SX/G/GX calculators. It allows
to run your HP 48 calculator concurrently to Amiga applications
without hardware add-ons or modifications.

!New: works now with OS 2.1               !
!     works now with all graphic boards   !


Some of the emulation's features:

 - Can emulate a HP48S, HP48SX, HP48G and a HP48GX calculator.
 - Can use the Amiga serial port.
 - Can use emulated plug-in modules.
 - 2 different sizes for both users of a 640x200 workbench screen
   and users of big workbench screens like 1024x768.
 - 2 different types of keyboard layout.
 - Uses fast display functions with graphic boards.

Requirements:

OS 2.1 , 68020+ processor, 2MB of RAM, HardDisk recommended.
I recommend OS 3.1 and a graphic board for best performance !
A copy of a HP 48 (S/SX/G/GX) ROM is not included, but required.
The ROM can be read off of your real HP calculator by using a
supplied program.
Note, however, that reading the ROM is only legal if you currently
own a real HP 48 (S/SX/G/GX) calculator.
