I'd like to get some plausible fantasizing going. Now that Megabyte has their accelerator out, how about Atari? Wouldn't it be nice if the next thing after the new ROM-s was true 16 MHz ST-s and MEGAs? Seems to me that by altering the custom chips a bit (not an overnight job, but not development from scratch either) the 16 MHz clock could be taken very good advantage of (assuming faster memory, too, but why not?) Or for a little more oomph out of the same design, a chip with a bit of an instruction cache (68010?). The AT of the ST world as it were: a bit faster, and some of the kinks ironed out, xDbut otherwise the same.
