I finally received a reply. He was on vacation. I tried to check out this
mentioned Aesop BBS, but the connection was quite flaky. I got interrupted
and had to retry multiple times. I snooped around a little bit, and found a
category named "simulators". Unfortunately all items merely consisted of
advertisement files by commercial companies, advertising software emulators
for the entire m68k family (pretty nifty), running on a wide range of
platforms. Addresses and phone numbers were included, but no pricing
information. I do not think I would want to know anyway.

But I did not see any pointers to freely available source code for any of
this, not even the FPUs. So there might be a real problem...
