E-mu samplers in Mame

Hi,

I'm interested in the possibility of emulating the E-mu samplers in Mame.
I have a rack based E-mu e-synth.
I have the OS firmware, the schematics and IC list. The CPU should be an 68C020.

IC list:
G2.0-chip, Sound Engine IC402 2
H1.5-chip, Digital Filter IC413 4
Digital Audio Transmitter II367 1
Digital Audio Receiver II372 1
82078 Floppy Disk Controller II382 1
85C80 SCSI Controller II383 1
9x Active SCSI Terminator IL357 2
93C46 64 x 16 EEPROM IM400 1
68C020 25 MHz CPU IM405 1

74VHCT125 Quad Buffer

I have no previous experience with developing from Mame but I've been taking a look at the code...
Do you see some major issues with starting this work? Is anybody already working on it? It looks like there's quite a bit of work being done around digital synthesizers recently. https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/Synthesizers
