To tell the truth, nobody has got decent 68k JIT to work except Amithlon and UAE. MOS has it, but it's still in beta and I can't comment on its completeness, since as bt2 I don't get to try it. OS4 will probably not have it to begin with either. Petunia was not what they hoped, it seemed.
Anyway, having Bernie on your "side" is far better wasting months of man hours on reinventing the wheel, no? :-) Do you think he would have got a free/cheap/loaned A1 from AInc? Somehow I don't think so. :-)
