Ensoniq chip emulation.
Full IIGS graphics mode emulation including 3200 mode.
Ability to run all IIGS demos and software including the
  offerings from FTA and HyperCard/HyperStudio GS.
Ability to run GS/OS without crashing or glitches like
  XGS does all the time.
Ability to transparently run GS/OS software including
  AppleWorks GS 1.1 with Pointless and a full library
  of TrueType fonts and print using the LaserWriter
  driver to any connected PC printer to the full printer
  resolution (LaserWriter driver outputs PostScript).

Essentially, make a viable IIGS replacement which
emulators like XGS are not.

I know that there are close to viable replacements for
the 8-bit Apple IIs.  In fact SimSystem IIe was quite
good for a IIe replacement.  But IIGS replacement the
software emulators are not.
