	Thanks to everyone who sent me information on the 
Quadram, Quadlink board.  I actually wanted a software only solution
like the Amiga product which ran PC software on the 68000.  I guess the 
equivalent 6502 emulation software doesn't exist for the Intel architecture.   

	The net is truely wonderful for getting answers to obscure
technical questions.  (Even if they are not the answers you wanted.)
