that's true actually, no offense.  all an emulator (example for the TI86)
must do is emulate the Z80 chip, the memory, the ports and other hardware.
If you had documentation on the Z80 chip and the TI ports you could easily
write an emulator (the catch being documentation from TI on the ports
doesn't exist).
