The SuperCPU, quite likely possible, but I don't think too many people will try for three reasons... 1. Not many people still use a C64 (or 128). 2. Those things are hell expensive 3. Not many C64 owners would be rich enough to buy a SuperCPU in the first place, and that is probably the reason they still use a C64/128. > -- Ever wonder where the majority of the 20 - 25 million C64's sold worldwide ended up?.
