Does Binkd work under the emulation? I've tried it under my Amilithon setup with Genesis/Miami and it don't like
something (It reports a host function can't be found)... So I'm looking at other options (See my message to Oli).

I still do own real Amiga hardware, but things are getting harder to keep running. My A3000 works like a champ, and runs
stable with 3.2, The A4000 is driving me nuts though, and even after re-capping, is only starting to display a image 50%
of the time. (No drive click and a black screen). ^-(
