On a similar vein, I think it would be cool to see an Atari ST emulator on
the Palm... the screen sizes are pretty close, there's enough memory (on a
palm III) for a 1Meg ST emulator, it uses the same processor, so it
shouldn't run *too* slowly... but hooking up that floppy drive would be a
bit tough, I'll admit... ;-)
Just an idea,
