But you're right. The emulator wouldn't just
have to emulate a specific

to have 2-3 special-case emulators for 2-3 different instruction sets.
(Perhaps they would magically recognize the current microcode image and use
the appropriate instruction set.) And there's the disk hardware and the
video hardware to deal with as well.
Why not just write a microcode emulator?
