I managed to get Rich Skrentas Apple ][ emulator running on my
A3000-25/100, under AmigaDOS.  I compiled it with lattice C 5.10a,
using the m3 (030 code) and -O options.  Results are that the
applesoft emulation is totally 100% true to the apple ][ series,
and speed is low.  
I ran David Ahls old Creative Computing benchmark, in basic and
compared it to the old published apple //e results.  This
benchmark tests both accuracy and speed.  On the accuracy part
it was EXACTLY the same as the old apple //e computer, not a 
bad feat since there is a lot of FP math in it.
Speed wise is another story:

Apple //e runs benchmark in 1 minute 53 seconds
Amiga 3000/25-100 emulating an apple //e takes 5 minutes 13 seconds.

So it is like a .4 Mhz 65C02

But it works!

The A3000/25 runs the same benchmark, in C, in 0.15 seconds, with
much greater accuracy.

Thanks to Rich Skrenta for the emulator!
