A while ago, there was mention of a group that was porting the MACH
kernal to the Amiga.  With this in place, a nExt emulator would
certainly be possible,  although its likely that sound would have to
be left out.  The display could go to a 2410 or a superbitmap type
screen.  Of such an emulator would have the drawbacks that the NeXT
has, a ton of disk and ram space needed, and a bit too slow with
anyting less than an 040.  I hope this dosen't turn into flame -
bate.
