I was wondering - does the MMU in the 2620 do address remapping,
or just protection?  If the former, could it be used to give a nice
contiguous address space to a Macintosh emulator like Readysoft's -
thus allowing the mac emulator to coexist with Amiga tasks?  (I
assume that the main reason it currently doesn't is that the Mac
plays with low memory, needs contiguous memory, etc.)

(By the way, has anyone who got on Readysoft's mailing list about
the emulator actually received anything?)
