Just thought I'd share my experiences with running IBeM on my A3000. It
certainly runs faster than Transformer, and it seems to multitask nicely. I've
run what few MS-DOS programs I have on it, and one problem in particular has
plagued me - the emulator just quits unexpectedly, and with alarming
frequency. Especially when running PC Tools version 4.something, where I can't
keep the thing running for more than a minute or so. It does, however, function
correctly until it quits. Has anyone else experienced this?
All in all, I find it an amazing program, and even more amazing that it's less
than 50k in size! I'm in the process of writing an Apple //e emulator (no, 
really!), and I couldn't possibly shrink it down to anywhere near that size...
I mean, just look at the size of Transformer...
Anyway, I hope that development continues on this program - it could easily
turn into what a lot of us have been asking for for a long time.
