Agreed, there are infinitely superior operating systems for the 68k
machines, but your allegation that emulators won't run PC software is
entirely bogus; I have seen the Flight Simulator running on a
Dimension 68k using CPM68 and emulating MS-DOS (emulated graphics are
bloody slow, but it did run!)
