The price? Probably astronomical for a uP while not so high for a common IC.
This is why I'm thinking of using a high-speed risk processor and a custom
translator so that the uP appears to be reading the enhanced 65xxx language.
If I can find a way to make a uP (relatively)cheap, I'll go that route.
