   Wowzers. I gotta upgrade my system. Zip 9/32, 256K Rev C Ramfast,
235MB Quantum (12ms access time) takes on the order of 12 seconds if
I recall correctly.

   Hmmm. I've had a 14 or 20Mhz 65816 sitting on my shelf for well
over a year, never wanting to butcher my Zip with poor soldering
skills. (I hack code, not hardware). You're making me really want to
upgrade, though. :)
