@Methusales

What are the "sandbox limitations" and what have they to do
with they way the 68k is emulated ?
/me thinks you are confusing a few facts here

I also think you haven't answer the original question which
was if it will run on classic Amigas, and the answer to that
would be, yes it will run aslong as the Amiga has a CyperstormPPC
or BlizzardPPC. (no I have not forgotten the fishy thing).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@Methusales

It seems you really got something wrong here ....

I assume that by "on the fly" you mean the JIT-compiler,
wich says nothing if it is either a boxed system or not.

It also doesn't matter if you run one 68k-emu, or one per task.

The only difference between  "boxed" or "not boxed" is wether
the old SW is kept seperated from the new one, or if it all runs
on one kernel.

Very importont to what kind of memory-protection and so could be
implemented into the OS.

Oh and yes it seems that the orginal poster really didn't know
if OS4 was 68k or PPC.
