This would require kernel modifications to trap the A-line vector, so you'd
need to find those mods.  When running on a 68k, BasiliskII does some very
tricky things to run the code natively (and runs with a non-MMU memory
layout).

Right; on non-68k's, it runs with CPU emulation (and can even do virtual
memory, I believe).

: Is anyone working on a package for this emulator?

Making a package for non-m68k's is ~trivial, although it should probably be
restricted to fast-enough CPUs (sparc, i386, maybe mips).  Packaging it for
68k's requires the kernel changes mentioned above.
