   What exactly is the market for this thing, anyway?  The point of 
buying a Mac is much more than the software available--it's the great 
interface and  some of the fastest hardware available.  I suppose you 
could make a case for PC users 'stuck' in an all-Mac environment that 
need only the barest minimum of compatability/capability, but if that's 
the case you seem to have a very small market.

   I'm also quite skeptical of the speed you give ("twice as fast as a 
25Mhz 040") since *Apple's* emulator doesn't come close to that on 
equivilent hardware (to the 90 Mhz Pentium).  Have you castrated the 
emulator in order to make it simpler, or have you pulled off a 
tech-miracle?  (Or are you just being a little...optimistic?)
   Not that I doubt such speeds can be obtained--just not running normal 
programs.
