Actually for just the multitasking you could try to get MetaComCo to port
TriPOS to the ST. That is the "upper most" layer of AmigaDOS. You would also
need a small multitasking Exec to layer it onto, although I am pretty sure
that Tripos has one already. What would be really tough would be to emulate
Denise, Agnus, and Paula the custom chips. They provide most of the graphics
and sound capabilities and are the reason that the Screen can be jumping and 
the sound system humming, and you still have neary 100% of the 68000's attention.
So, like the player-missle graphics of the 800 this would be real tough.
