We develop code for board-level systems which include M68000 processors on VMEbus boards. These run the VRTX operating system. We have Sun workstations available. A virtual machine capability would allow us to simulate the target environment on the Sun systems, avoiding the bother of downloading, making ROMs, and debugging in a very weak environment.
