(1) Can somebody confirm that it's impossible to emulate a Mac using a '060 CPU, I mean taking advantage of it ? I dunno where I read this, but this was printed several times.


I am not quite sure what your asking, but as far as 060 for
MAC emulation, it works quite well.  Both Fusion 3.1/3.2
and Shapeshifter 3.9 takes advantage of the speed increase
provided by the 060.  You can emulate classic <8.1 enviroments
faster than an original 040 mac would run.  These two pieces
of software are the reason why cards like the Fusion are fairly
useless for emulation.  Unless you need an extra SCSI controller
or native MAC serial ports, the emplant offers little advantage.
An emplant with the 586 module is certainly more desirable, but
I can't really comment on how effective the emulation programs
for it work.
