And from the really bizarre "no way you can do that" department, 
what if we could put that 128k cache RAM somewhere on the GS
mainboard itself to speed up some operation that runs at 1.0MHz
but doesn't have to?  I have not slept in 24 hours, but was
just thinking that it would be something to have the full machine
sped up all the time instead of dropping to 1.0MHz for timing
and stuff.  Or cache the 128k that is in the Mega II chip subset
to do something..... I don't know what.

Ah, to hell with it.  Just make a 256k ZipGS cache and be done
with it already.  :)
