An alternative to an emulator of course is a real Windows box, ethernetting 
to Linux with VNC Server installed. VNC Viewer for YDL works much better for 
me than it does on OS 9.1. I found the TightVNC rpm compiled for PPC, it 
works great.

You don't need a monitor on the PC, just tuck the box out of the way 
somewhere. Older PCs can be found cheap on ebay--I found mine in a dumpster.

Now if I could only get VNC and MOL to work at the same time, I'd be in 
Triple-OS-in-one-box Heaven ;-)
