Would it be possible to get that guesswork into B2 too? Actually, I 
would like to use Apple's DR emulator there too (powerrom_cpu) and 
since video graphics is low on MacOS X (at least with X11 and VOSF 
tricks), that sort of NQD could help in determining dirty pages of the 
frame buffer.

On MacOS X proper, couldn't we forward CopyBits() et al. to Carbon 
equivalent either? That would suppose the real MacOS X version is used 
as I don't know how Carbon graphics and X11 could cooperate. I believe 
it would be cool to have a super fast Basilisk II within MacOS X.

Bye,
Gwenole.
