Not strictly an emulator at all, this is the (complex, clever) frontend software
which allows the PC card that can be fitted to Risc PC computers to be run in a
window on RISC OS - or in fact, at all. It does do quite a lot of emulation, however,
since the hardware the PC expects isn't actually present and so this program has to
pretend.
The first release was from Acorn and came with the initial 486SX33 PC cards - then it
was published in version 2, now called PCPro, by Aleph One. A later major improvement
brought version 3, which is still available and supports RISC OS 4 and Kinetic machines.
A range of PC cards with different processors were available, but new Risc PC cards are
no longer sold. Cards for earlier machines are, however, still available from Aleph One.
