Re: A universal 65C816-based computer?

["Jim Cullen" <focuseditsolutions@hotmail.com>]

Hi,
It would be cool to have some form of hand-held GS.... or IIgs on a PCI card
with a disk drive port
built in....a mini controller...shrink the components down with a compatble
or upgraded 65816 cpu.
You could ask why due to the availablility of emulators, but perhaps even an
emulator on a card would be cool if it had some addons like a mini disk
controller....
