The point is there is not really a point in using 68k Emulation on the current
hardware (at least not for owners of 060 systems). Not the H&P Emulation, not
the MorphOS Emulation... Of course 68k Emulation is interesting for future
hardware (I also have Sams Emulation on my harddrive since quite a time, and I
think the speed should be really interesting on a "decent" hardware - like G3
300 MHz + Second Level Cache lets say...). But releasing such a thing only for
current hardware is a bit pointless, which is why H&P never released their
Emulation...
