       | We're close to being able to emulate an m68k with MMU as fast as

       | 
       | With more and better emulations available, we see more people
       | able to improve code quality because it's much easier to test
       | alternative architectures.
       | 
       | Between AXPbox and qemu in the last year, Alpha emulation is
       | progressing nicely, although I'm sure it'll be a while before
       | emulation is anywhere near the speed of my real AlphaServer
