   Some of them old computers seem to be a lot tougher than some of the ones we   
   use today.

   UAE is what I've used on Windows for games, and it seemed to work fine, but I   
   haven't used it enough to see of any downsides it might have.

   Good news is, I'm pretty sure almost all the Amigas had RS-232 serial ports,   
   so you should be able to use a common null modem cable to hook it to your main   
   computer.  If you don't have a serial port, you can buy a usb to serial   
   adapter pretty cheap these days.  From there, you'd need to find some   
   software, presumably for OSX in your case, to listen on a TCP connection on   
   your main computer, and pass communication through your serial port.  Since   
   OSX is based on Unix, this might end up being fairly simple to do already   
   without even downloading anything, since I know Linux can do it, but I have no   
   idea off the top of my head the exact process without doing some research.
