         | Yeah the readme could certainly do a better job of saying:
         | Drop in replacement of a 68000 cpu using a raspberry pi and
         | software emulation.

         | It seems that the PI is plugged into the CPU socket of the
         | Amiga. The software in the repository should be the emulator
         | for the 68k CPU.

           | Edit: Also a fair amount of code from
           | https://github.com/h5n1xp/Omega which is MPL licensed.
