> swapping CPUs would be the easiest task. My point was not that PA RISC wouldn't have the horsepower to emulate a 68K computer. My point was that Commodore fully emulating the Amiga architecture well enough to play highly-optimized games (which heavily leveraged the complex interactions of the Amiga's co-processors) would be extremely challenging (not due to speed but complexity) and that I was skeptical they would have managed to do it (especially given their depleted resources and software bench). I've discussed this with Amiga engineers who worked at Commodore and they were skeptical of that plan at the time, so I don't think my skepticism is unjustified.
