Universal Emulator
It seems that a significant step towards universal hardware emulation has been made at Transitive Corporation. Their QuickTransit software apparently …allows applications to run ‘transparently’ on multiple hardware platforms, including Macs, PCs, and numerous servers and mainframes
, and even video game hardware, such as the Xbox.
One other interesting point: although Transitive Corp. are based in California, the software itself is based on Alasdair Rawsthorne’s Dynamite research project during the mid- to late ’90s at the Manchester University Department of Computer Science - nice to see yet more exciting work from the UK!!
