I found a monitor cable included. I still had a DB15 to VGA adapter. Now the #PowerBook540 has at least some color display in the amazing resolution of 800x600 pixels on the flat screen TV.

@Tathar @LunaFoxgirlVT and whilst #Transmeta wanted to do hot reboot and parrallel emulation of different ISAs, they never showed any prototypes and aside from press announcements with no estmated dates I could not find anything about it.
That being said, @stman has been working on doing basically a #CPU with an #FPGA and seemed to have looked into #mc68k & #RISCV as ISAs to run this way.

@LunaFoxgirlVT @stman Big #FPGA's can literally emulate a lot of #ISA's like #mc68k|60 or #RISCV but I'm shure they do take some time switching between those and loading the #VHDL code.
Also I'm pretty certain that unless one were to use #PSRAM it's not possible to retain any data in #RAM between those hot reboots.
Not to mention that this assumes equal #Endian|ness...
