    the PC-Transporter is irrelevant.  Soft-PC will cover it's place.
    It's slow, but it works.  The FPE is not included in the LC ('020), 
    but is possible (i think), though I would SERIOUSLY doubt that much
    direct accessing could be done.  It'd be much more an LC performance
    speedup translating into an emulation speedup.  The VOC is out of the
    question, that would make this useful.

    I see a IIc emulation, with possibly some improvement.
