I understand that the SPARC can execute 68000 code, in an emulation mode. At
least Sun talks about the Sun-4 running Sun-3 stuff at 7 MIPS effective. Would
it be possible to use a SPARC as a 68000/68020 accelerator in other computers?

No flames, please. I know nothing about the SPARC but what Sun's advertising
department has been reported to have said by a third party.
