Well, that's pretty cool. I hope the "condescenders" learned something :-)
I have to say this, of course, being on the ST side of the fence, but you could do exactly the same thing in reverse and "burn" Commodore by running workbench on the ST. The ST scene just didn't have someone like yourself working on that.
All of the hardware (copper, blitter) would have to be emulated, so anything using them would be really slow, but then, your emulator would have to emulate the STs hardware too, incurring a similar penalty.
The ST 68000 was 112% the speed of the Amigas', which would help...
Any program that really used the hardware at a low level would have a hard time on either emulator....

I must pick you up on another point though.

How is that dumb? Sounds rather similar to a recent phenomenon known as "Open source" to me.
