> Probably also helps that qemu has m68k support, If the point is, as you suggest that you can do the development on modern hardware, and the later move the code from the emulator to actual hardware, then I think it's an overall win. If all that happens is that code is developed using the emulator and then only ever run in the same emulator, then I question the value of the exercise. It's the same we see with old esoteric filesystems, if it's never checked against anything but itself, is it then really providing value. Whether or not the developers are hobbyist should matter, having more hardware platforms is good for detecting bugs.
