I don't it will ever be done.  Two immediate problems are screen size,
you can easily (don't hit me Dave!) make a Mac screen appear on a bigger
ST monitor, but how do you shrink a ST screen to fit a Mac?  Also,
I don't believe that there is any way for the Mac to accomodate ST
disks since they vary disk speed.  Not to mention that Mac disk access
and screen refresh are already slow, ST emulation would turn the Mac
from a clever turtle to a clever turtle with its legs cut off! :=]
