I would say it > capable of running CP/M and all software of those days. It'll run CP/M-86 nativly, and if you have a V20 or V30 you can even run 8080 code nativly! But if you meant > hardware emulation lets say ZX_SPECTRUM_48 - my answer is NO! absolutely > impossible 10 times slower than required. You need at least 386dx33.
