  2. Known Problems

Input and output instructions and mechanisms aren't emulated. You can't use
programs that make use of inputs or outputs.


  3. System Requirements

Minimum (and best) requirements
- Intel 386 processor or equal.
- 2 MB of internal memory.
- Color text card.
- DOS 2.0 to DOS 7.x.


  4. Getting Started

This program is Himem unfriendly: you must run it in real DOS (not Windows)
without ANY memory manager installed (Himem, Emm386, Qemm, ...), but you
still can load your mouse, sound card, video card, ... drivers as it requires
less than 100 KB base memory.
Shift-F5 at startup should do it with Win 95. Win 98 users should press F8 at
startup, then Shift-F5 when the menu appears.

You can now run Gamma EmulaTion by typing GE.
You should now see a Gamma Tambour debugger screen.


  5. Instructions

Here are the keys to use the debugger:
[Tab]          > Switch to another debug window
[ESC]          > Quit emulator

Other keys are defined for easy use of the debugger. Read the small help line
at the bottom of the screen for further help.


  6. What Is Emulated

99.9% Gamma 3 Tambour calculator, cycle exact
Fast and Tambour memories
