Yes it was 6 am :p

The emu supports disk images, native host folder mapping through a 
specific API, and also bootstrapping a .prg directly (set in the config 
file, EmuTOS asks for it and runs it directly).
I didn't try yet making an image, and the floppy reading code is broken 
(9 every 9 sectors being skipped as on side 2).

Sadly UAE  doesn't emulate the mmu (ARAnyM is based on UAE but it has 
optional mmu support), so it won't be easy to debug it.
Also, most regular Amigas use an EC or LC cpu which lack either the mmu 
or the fpu... so better have a 040 or 060 card.
Btw, AmigaOS4 for "classic" actually requires a PPC... :p
