MAC emulation may be trivial… but interestingly enough… I am running the emulation and getting Quadra throughput while the CPU is still multitasking running AmigaDOS. Sure, the ROMS of the MAC are mapped out into Amiga memory, but it is much more than that. As for the PC emulation, true x86 functions are translated into 680×0 code. Apparently, a table exists of all low level functions as well as PC BIOS functions on the Emplant hardware. There is more to it, but I believe Jim Drew when he tells me that he can run Windows apps as fast a 486 on an A4000.
