An 8051 emulator on a PIC...that sounds like fun! Use a 40 pin PIC like
the 18F452, slap it together in C and then compensate the reduction in
performance by overclocking the PIC to like 80Mhz. Of course I can't
think of any sane reason for such an exercise considering all the
different variates of 8051 clones available...:(

Or an 8051 core for an FPGA?

Better yet: get the IP cores to "all the different variates[sic] of 8051s",
put them in the FPGA and run it at ~500MHz, then use them in parallel to
emulate the PIC emulating the 8051 with BASIC.

Then use the BASIC to emulate QBasic. Running on top of Windows XP.
Running on top of WINE.

Can we build a Beowulf cluster of these?
