+My good old firend MicheleConsoleBattilana, CEO of CloantoCompany,
+recently sent me the latest edition of AmigaForever 2006 Premium
+Edition.
+
+While the OpenFirmware can't boot off a plain CD-ROM designed for
+the historical 16bit BIOS, it didn't take too much hacking before
+I could get the actual UAE binary to start from the Terminal
+activity:
+
+ * Plug in a USB CD-ROM unit
+ * Open the Terminal activity and type:
+ {{{
+ sudo mount /dev/scd0 /mnt
+ cd /mnt/Emulation/UAE
+ ./uae -f af_boot.uaerc
+ }}}
+
+You may want to configure the system for the very high resolution
+of the XO display:
+
+ * Open the **System** disk
+ * Open to **Prefs** drawer
+ * Use the **Screen** preferences editor to set a higher screenmode (uaegfx:1152x864x16 is close to full-screen and neat)
+ * Use the **Font** preferences editor to enlarge the Workbench and Screen fonts (Topaz-11 is a good choice)
+ * Use the **ToolManager** preferences editor to enlarge the font of the Dock.
+
+The emulation is fast and smooth.  I didn't have much success with the
+demos, mostly because I was unable to reach an adequate emulation speed
+on the Geode while running UAE with legacy 680x0 processors, which disables
+the JIT CPU emulator.
