Check out the Un*x Amiga Emulator by Bernd Schmidt on
http://www-users.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~crux/uae.html

Note that it fully emulates an a500, including the CPU, so it won't take
advantage of an 680x0 preasent in a linux-m68k box.

But it works ;-)

OK, so I did get this URL going, but I have one major problem.
I have a Kickstart 1.3 floppy that I got with my OS upgrade back
in 1989. This floppy is an Amiga-formatted double-density disk, if
I'm not mistaken. I've since abandoned the Amiga platform (but I've
only had my PC since November of last year--a 7-year gap between my
two newest computers), so I don't know how to salvage this disk and
copy it over to the PC. Does anybody have any idea where I can turn
to, or am I stuck without UAE?
Thanks.

A PC can't read an amiga disk, because the disk-controller is
designed for reading PC-disks, which are hard-sectored, while
amiga disks are soft-sectored, which means that the sectors are
scattered all over the disk with no regard for the index-hole
which PC disk controllers use to read disks.
You could read the disk on an amiga and write a PC disk on an amiga.
