- CIA registers are even more difficult. They are also on the CPU bus but
- use slow synchronous 6800 style transfers. It would be interesting to
- know how the CIA blocks in Akiko behave regarding transfer speed.

- AFAIK you can hit the register necessary for C2P without wait states
- in the CD32 == 3 clocks at 14MHz. There is no other Amiga that has this
- hardware, so the comparison doesn't make lots of sense. Even an expanded
- CD32 is difficult to compare since accesses to the motherboard might
- be non-optimal.
