No and again no.

Here we're having a nice Sun-cluster with at least 50% Sparc-Stations
which have a RISC-architecture. These aren't 68K-machines and aren't i386 too.

And why do you believe an assembler-simulator cannot run on a machine
running that particular processor?

It seems you are thinking of a cross-assembler.
