Re: Replacing the 6502 with a faster chip

["John Van Winkle" <appleiieman@charter.net>]

As for the developement of A2 stuff, I think it
is great that people as still trying to preserve a great
machine.  Anything that can be done to improve and
extend it's useful life, is cool!  I would be interested in another CFFA
card since I own only one.  I would
also be interested in an accelerator card for my A2
since I don't (and never have) owned one of those.  I agree with (Roy?) that
if it is worth the value, I am willing
to buy it.  But Ebay's prices are certainly ridulous for some of the "rarer"
items.  So to all those developers, keep designing!  This was the spirit
that Woz designed these systems with!  Open architecture, to add anything
you wanted to truly make it a personal computer.  That's what still makes it
great, even today.
