Why wait for a IIgs PCI card when there's Fast Eddie?

Seriously, I don't believe in Apple II* cards. As David pointed out, they will
be always limited to what they are, say stock GS speed or whatever.
Software-only emulation leaves a lot of room for variations, updates, and
enhancements. And, given the fact that Macs are getting really fast, you'll
hardly see the GS watch cursor anymore.
