But you're not going to emulate a quadra on a 92.  It only makes sense to
emulate a computer with the same cpu.  Emulation of the original mac
should be possible.  With a 92+, you have 384K flash ram and 128K ram.
The original mac had 64K of ROM, 128K ram and a 400K floppy drive.  A
software mac emulator for the Amiga is less than 128K, so worst case
scenario, there is 192K flash ram left for a virtual floppy.  If you can
kick the TI-OS out of normal ram, you have 128K normal ram for the
system.  It would be relatively useless, but it should be hypothetically
possible.
