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.
