essentially turned the PDP-11 into a disk I/O processor.
Yeah, I was pretty hungry when I signed up for that one.
Wow. So was it one 68000 per user, or did it actually do proper
multitasking?
I'm sort of asking the original question because I'm ripping LisaEm
apart into its components so that they may be usable in other emulation
projects. One of is a CPU library based on Generator, so I was
wondering if it's worthwhile to make the library capable of supporting
multiple virtual 68000's. (The trade off is a loss in execution speed.)
