That's exactly what the guy working on the Linux-Mandrake port to PPC told
me ;-) He now hopes to get his Ti'Book before two weeks but they are
supposedly hard to find in France for now...

Indeed, you can't have multiple instances of the cpu core. I once derived
a version that could do multiple-cpu emulation but this would break the
JIT compiler now. This could be fixed but I doubt the common mortal would
run multiple emulations in one session.

Do you mean m68k_reset() is actually called when you restart MacOS ? I am
sorry but I am missing something there.

Talking about icons, I realized we don't have any "official" icon for
Basilisk. What do you suggest for non-MacOS X users ? I mean an icon
looking like Apple's one would probably not mean anything to Linux users
for example. I thought about a "Basilisk" like the one located in Paris
but it is not meaningful either.
