Ever since I saw that IIGS accelerators plug into the

possible to design a processor emulator.  Not an
Apple II emulator, mind you, but a straight hardware
65C816 emulator.  Imagine a fast, low power CPU.
Maybe a 1.0Ghz mobile Duron with supporting
hardware on a small card that plugs into the IIGS
CPU socket.  Or put the hardware on a card that
plugs into a IIGS slot.

If power is the problem, an external power brick
could be added (like the never released Voodoo6
from the late 3dfx).

Now if you are talking add-on hardware for C-One,
I would much rather see a IIGS card for the PC
because today's software IIGS emulators just do
not cut it!

Or a PowerPC based card, since the best iigs emulator is already written on a PowerPC, it should be easy to merely emulate the 65816 by a G3/4/5.
