A bit slow, plus you would need to install UAE, with its ROM images, and WB disks and everything anyway, so this is sort of back to "how do you get the files to FreeBSD in the first place". But this still isn't reading the disks in the PC drive though (you would have to copy the disk images across on a PC disk, or a network).
