- It IS a big problem as far as compatibility with software written for
- unaccelerated machines goes. Anything that makes maximum use of the
- unexpanded 1200's chip accessing per frame will fail dismally on such an
- accelerator. Of course, some data could be put in fastram, but that isn't
- going to change any programs that have already been written.
