EmuTOS for the FireBee is the same as EmuTOS for ARAnyM or Hatari, but compiled for a ColdFire CPU. It does not miss anything more.

The current mintv4e.prg does not use any missing/emulated usermode instruction, we can assume it runs at full speed. However it expects supervisor stuff being like a 68060 (exception stack frames, cache management...), this is why it only runs on FireTOS. I'm going to add ColdFire supervisor support and emulation autodetection to mintv4e.prg, so it will fun with both FireTOS and EmuTOS.
