Virtual Speccy - Overview of emulators.

<b>Virtual Speccy</b> - Overview of emulators.

         My review of emulators :-)

That offers a second, retouched,
Spectrum emulator version of the review here,
certainly not all - only the main
emulators under _MS_DOS_ and _Windows9x_ If
I forgot, do not kick much ;-)
