Ummmmmm....  if people won't make a card with a 20MHz 85816 CPU, then what
will get them to make one with that chipset?????  four hundred seventy-eight
(478)  Breadboard that, hardware designers!  And cost??  Yikes!
    I love the Apple II family, but you might have been drunk when you were
thinking up this week's latest Apple II SUPERCARD vapor/dreamware.

Sorry to offend,

What's the problem with that? Almost all of the pins are either power,
ground, or part of the northbridge interface.
