The 7500's we have are rated 40 MHz and would emulate very fas, after all thats
40 32 bit MIPS. However, by the time I get serious, the 9500 may be available
at 80 to 150 MHz. Either one will work with a standard PC combo chip for all
the I/O and drives, etc.

No existing software. This will have to be a hacker adventure.
