Amstrad released a Spectrum emulator a few years ago, as part of the E3 emailer/videophone. http://www.amstrad.com/products/emailers/e3.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/09/15/amstrad_e3_launch/ The product never really caught on. I bought a couple when they were heavily discounted, and spent some time hacking them to run a later version of Linux. I did try the emulator once (played Manic Miner as I recall).
