Yet another project that I have on my rather large list of II programs
to write.

I was thinking it would be really nice to have the option to have the
8 bit display as either full screen (using the correct display mode)
or windowed on the IIgs desktop.  If you make the emulator compatible
with the Manager, you could run AppleWorks classic at the same time
you are running other GS/OS applications.

This would also get around the problem with Nathan Mates' Swatter Disk
RAM drives not being available to ProDOS 8 programs if you route the
ProDOS 8 commands through GS/OS.  You might even be able to rig up a
way for P8 programs to access HFS disks and partitions but that would
probably be rather difficult.

I think this would be a great thing to have and some day, I just might
get started on it.  I've already put a lot of thought into this
project because I really hate losing access to my NDAs while using P8
programs.
