I'm working with someone else to design a 32/64-bit CPU opset, which I
will call the 8132 and 81132.  It would combine the best of the 8086,
68000 and 65C02 processors.

Add a gig or so of RAM, LCD display at 1280x1024x16777216, and a 'nix,
perhaps with coprocessors for hardware emulation of the ][ and PC.
