The archive is dated September/October 1990, but I first discovered its existence much later than that.

I will search through my archives when I have a moment and see what webpages and other information I still have saved from that time.

Yep, that's the one I remember. (Sorry this has taken so long!)

Here's the only "documentation" I had saved:

amiga.zip (Hoax)

A program which purports to be an Amiga emulator for MS-DOS machines has existed for a while. All it does is display the Kickstart 1.2 startup image and hang your machine. (It wasn't designed to do anything else. It's someone's sick idea of a joke.) Note that this program has turned up in a number of shareware CD collections that are otherwise reputable -- it's still the same fake.
