I realized something about the IIgs: It has the exact same CPU as the
SNES running at a rather similar speed. This got me to thinking if any
of the special chips that came in ceratin SNES carts could be used
with the IIgs in some sort of frankenboard. The superfx (used in
StarFox, a famous 3D SNES game) would be of particular interest due to
the fact that it's well-documented and is a fast 16-bit risc chip
known to work quite nicely as a co-proccessor to a 65816...
