Compact on a Chip?
Will this technology allow a complete hardware emulation of a Mac Plus on a single chip?

Or is PacMan a much simpler machine?

AFAIK there were whole Amiga's On-A-Chip!
To my knowledge, the Amiga hasn't been implemented on a single chip. It's chipset has though, and it's called a Minimig.
To my knowledge, the original PacMan would have been a much, much simpler machine than a Mac Plus but I have no doubt that the Plus would be relatively simple to clone with a reduced chipset.

Agreed - Pacman was much, much simpler than a plus.
However the Amiga would be comparable. It's just no-one in Macland has had the persistence to do what the Minimig guy did. And I wouldn't know how well the Mac chipset is documented compared to the Amiga.
As I understand it, stage II of the Minimig was to incorporate a softcore 68000 onto the FPGA.

A Palm Handheld (eg m505 etc) is equivalent to a Mac Plus.
Ssssssort of ...
