Summary: Of course running the AM29000 simulator could be tough.

Yeah! Thats the ticket!  Umm... but we'll all need 8 megabytes of RAM
to run the 29000's simulator. But how we gonna get a Zillion MIP's
(MIP's = Mostly Intel Propoganda) out of a simulator running
on a 68000?  Oh yeah... I forgot:

#include <dhrystones.h>

main ()
{
	Delay (1);
	printf ("This machine benchmarks out 30000 dhrystones / second\n");
}

In case you had any doubts: 8^) 8-) 8^>
