Yes, I too will verify that the 8086 can be emulated on the 68000 series -- I
seem to recall the first notions of this coming from EE-Times in late 1986.  I
got a real warm feeling in my heart when I heard that someone had done this on
a SUN workstation and were running MSDOS in a window (heheh was this the first
implementation of Concurrent MSDOS?  :-> :-> ).  I had a great time showing my
co-workers about this and chuckling at the ones who liked 80xx series stuff.
No, that's not a flame -- I like 80xxx stuff too, it's just that I like 68xxx
stuff better :->.  Is anyone aware of 68xxx stuff being emulated on 80xxx
processors?
