The main prob is that such a system would eat performance even
while not used.

A solution that would have to be speciffly turned on would pretty much
contradict the base idea.

Also don't forget that there would be licence-problems since UAE is GPL
while MOS is not.
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

@Jose
Virtual addressing would only be the 1st building block for a skyscraper  ;-)

A chipset-emulation would need to get all the timings right, and that would
probraly demand lots of adaption work inside Petunia, work that won't boost
it's performance ...

This would offcourse still be completly useless for all the selfbooting games
that bypass the OS, and you could offcourse not use a single line of UAE sources
due to the lcence-incompability.

@Rodney
There is a reason why WinUAE is named WinUAE :-o
AROS can use UAE (intregrated) as it is also open-source, but I doubt
they will everget much more to than the 68k-emu, atleast not until the are
prepared to drag their kernel down with this stuff.

@falemagn

So it would be just a special version of UAE capable of useing AROS-specifics
instead of trying to run old SW on new OSes ...

Something like that would be very much more welcomed than what Red
proprosed in the orginal post :-)
