On a similar vein, I think it would be cool to see an Atari ST emulator on
the Palm... the screen sizes are pretty close, there's enough memory (on a
palm III) for a 1Meg ST emulator, it uses the same processor, so it
shouldn't run *too* slowly... but hooking up that floppy drive would be a
bit tough, I'll admit... ;-)
Are you sure the processor is the same? I didn't even think it had a
Motorola processor. If it is based on the 68k I suspect you might find
it's missing some of the instructions. I know I've seen talk in Amiga
circles about the latest 68k chips not having all the instructions
necessary to use them in a Amiga clone.

Fine replies:
Which OS runs on the Palm handhelds? Possibly W95/W98 or even the
old DOS/Win 3.1? I will take the challenge in that case. Care to bet how
long it will take?
I'm afriad not. They run PalmOS. Totally different architecture. Got to
admit I'm wondering if it's possible to put a PDP-11 emulator on one of
them. The big problem I see is console emulation.
