I think it would be more realistic with a PC host and a PC/104 target. If one
could get RTEMS or something similar running smootly in such an environment it
should be easy to sell the developers on Ada. Especially if things works with
all the possible combinations; 80386, 80486, Pentium, AMD 6K, etc.
