#define BIFF
UHMM COULDNT YOU JUST HOOK 2 GSS TOGETHER  THEY EACH HAVE 16 BITS SO 16 
+ 16 EQUALS 32 OKAY BYE
#define normal

seriously, folks?  i've heard rumours (and little more) of the 65832.  
okay, it's not likely to get built.  however.... if we find some chip 
(like perhaps the P21?) that can do amazing things, why not code an 
emulator onto it?  a P21 i believe is 16bit (i'm not sure, never 
bothered to get a spec because i didn't think i'd need to), but it's so 
wicked fast that a 32 bit emulator on it wouldn't be many problems.  
ultra-risc... i believe 16 instructions.
