I was just going to ask something like that =)

I, too, believe that the current lack of appropriate hardware is not a reason
for not releasing this BlackBox emulation. By the time Escena cards and BoXeR
boxes will (hopefully) have made their way through the manufacturing plant,
MorphOS developpers will have been able to make their teeth on such an
emulated-68k environment, whereas WarpOS developpers will have lost a great
opportunity.

BTW, MorphOS team doesn't discard the possibility of WarpOS support, but they're
*expressly* counting on third parties for this to happen. Let's hope some WarpOS
Gurus out there will accept the challenge...
