     True enough. The cure is not especially complicated. What we need is
a 20MHz New GS plug-in "accelerator card" which includes 32MB of main RAM
and 4MB of FlashRAM 'System ROM'. It could have top-of-card connectors for
a bus to control additional cards (such as boards for advanced Sound and
Video).

     New GS would be able to use the current GS setup as a kind of 'front
end'. It would be able to run old II and IIgs wares as well as wares
designed for the new board.
