But for 68040 owners, it shoulfd be different, don't you think? I've heard
from friends of mine that the Morphos emulation with a 604/233 is
comparable to a 040/33Mhz, wich is not so bad and you don't suffer from
context-switches in that case! More over, the GFX part of the OS seem
faster, especially with AGA, for them!
I can't test myself because sadly Morphos failed to work on my hardware! :(
But if the H&P's blackBox emulation is as fast as Morphos, it should be
interesting for 040 + PPC owber!
