I can. Tried it on an SE/30 (Mac-II class ROMs) and an LC-II (Universal 
ROMs). Unfortunately, by the time I got it working I was -way- burned 
out on it, so I just pushed the code to my webspace, announced it here, 
and didn't bother turning it into anything universal or even getting it 
running from a hard drive. And it worked on an a.out system, and by the 
time I had it running everyone else had switched over to ELF.

Also, someone else did the same for Linux using a slightly different 
approach. So it's definately possible, and the hard work has been done.

If anyone wants to pick up where I left off, let me know, and I'll dig 
out the latest versions of everything and make sure it's on the web.
