	Even  though  the Amiga range of computers are excellent, the world
pc  market  is  still dominated by IBM PC's.  So you might want to run some
programs  written  for  the  IBM PC but don't want to buy another computer.
This is where PC-Task comes in, it allows you to run the majority of IBM PC
programs  on  your  Amiga  computer  and  hence  make use of the memory and
peripherals  you already have.  The speed of PC-Task is directly related to
the speed of you Amiga so when you make your Amiga faster your PC emulation
becomes  faster.   No extra hardware is required, and PC-Task multitasks so
you  can  continue  to run other applications.  This is the Demo version of
the program.  Many features are disabled but you can boot and run software.

Getting started with demo version:-

	1. If you have Kickstart 1.2/1.3 run the TDPatch1213 program.
	2. Run PC-TaskDemo.
	3. Insert a bootable 3.5 DSDD 720K MS-DOS disk into DF0:.
	4. Press the start button.
	
	PC-Task should now start booting into a IBM-PC......


Specifying Hard Drives C and D:-

	PC-Task  allows  two  types  of  entries  for  HardDrives.  You can
specify  a  HardDrive  file  if  you  have set up a HardDrive file (PC-Task
HardDrive  files are compatable with bridgeboard ones).  Just give the file
name  and  PC-Task  will  treat  that file just like the bridgeboard would.
PC-Task  also  accepts  Amiga  partitions  as hard drives but due to MS-DOS
restrictions  these  must be set up very carefully so don't try without the
full  manual file to PC-Task.  If you have already set one up all you do is
specify  the  partiton  name(eg  DH3:).   If  the  entry for HardDrive C is
bootable PC-Task will boot directly from that.


Not getting enough memory for you PC, try the following:-

	1. Run the LeaveSlowFast program.
	2. Turn off "Use CGA".
	3. Turn off "Use Parallel".
	4. Lower the value of "Minimun Leave Available".
	5. Format a Amiga disk and install it.
	   Copy the PC-Task files to the disk.
	   Create the file s/startup-sequence with only
		TDPatch1213 >NIL:
		PC-TaskDemo

Slow operation:-

	If you want faster emulation turn off the "Use CGA" and you will be
using  MDA  which  doesn't  have  the  colors and graphics but it is faster
updating.  If you have have only chip and slow fast memory this makes a big
difference in general speed.
