Gee, the last time I checked, MacOs for PPC included an emulator for the
68xxx series, in fact I remember noticing in a review of an upgrade to
it that Apple was using the same kind of tricks that SynPaper talks
about. Now if I recall correctly, they *were* considering putting in a
hardware translation layer for _Intel x86_ code, in order to compete in
the "mainstream" market.
I would be very interested in finding out if the PPC group has decided
to work on hardware level emulation of any other platforms.
