Funny, this almost exactly describes my no-name Linux box, except its CPU  is 
only 133 MHz.  It's amazing how fast X-Windows runs UltiMusE on such a  
creaky old box (though the fancy Gnome GUI is slow).  It actually ran OK on  32 M 
or RAM for quite a while.
 
As a Coco emulator, it should probably run at least equal in speed to the  
real thing.  ISTR that when running Jeff V's emulator on a 75 MHz, 20M PC,  it 
was maybe 50% slower than real time.  --Mike K.
