- Yeah, Dataque has the proposed 1600XLE or whatever. It sounded okay,
- it promised lots of new features, but apparantly noone was interested.

- I'd rather build something on the Parallel bus, like a 8mHz 65816
- processor with 68881 math co. It would act as a parallel processor,
- and could also run your floppy drives and SCSI devices and stuff.
- At least that way you don't have to junk your existing 8 bit,
- you still use it. If it breaks, unplug it and plug in a new one.
