   I still prefer DMK's emulator, whether I'm using real disks or not.   
   Matthew's is very nice, and I have used it, but the keyboard routine just   
   never did work under MM CP/M.  The most annoying problem is that I'd type a   
   : and get an * about 2/3 of the time.  I don't recall having problems under   
   the various DOS's, though. The biggest problem I've ever had with David's is   
   when I forget to slow down the CPU from its max rate and try to type...talk   
   about keybounce :-).  Other than that, it's been pretty rugged.
