It would only be able to run in "real" addressing mode, mind you, without
some Really Difficult work to make virtual memory work properly.  In other
words, it'll function like a 68k Mac _without_ a MMU.

With that said, the support needed, without mentioning network interfaces
for the moment, shouldn't be *too* difficult.  It's mainly a deflection of
the A-line trap back into BasiliskII and the ROM image.  I won't volunteer
to do this now, but I have `thought about it' once in a while.  I might be
able to guide such an effort from afar....
