You can exchange configuration every tick and so kept separate
contexts/virtual machines. Perhaps I don´t understand you. Can you tell
me anything 68030 can't do about this issue?. You could, for example,
run several virtual machines, each running a different O.S. (an old
dream of mine, you know :). Hardware arbitration is a big issue but VM
helps a lot.

Explain, please.
