Thanks! This is great news. I had heard someone say that stand alone chips never
got much stronger than 1650 back in 1993. And the list even tells us the
processor, which we know has been emulated. I wonder if anyone has taken a rom
image and run it through the 6502 emulator? What would be the strength of the
rom image running through an emulator set to replay at top speed?
