Thoughts on 8-bit acceleration.

[Iosaef the Irascible <josefcub@gmail.com>]

Rather than ask a thousand questions of knowledgeable people about how
accelerators like the Transwarp (8-bit) and the various others worked,
I thought I'd condense it down to /why/ an idea of mine wouldn't work:

Why can't I take a fast 65C02, 64k of fast RAM, and just have it set
to slow down to system bus speed whenever it accesses peripheral
memory and ROM?   I figure the logic just to do that would be a little
nightmarish (not that I've tried or even thought deeply about that,
yet. ;-), but it seemed like a question I should ask so my brain can
hop onto a more productive track.

I'm sure that someone's had this thought before, but I couldn't locate
any posts on the subject (Google Groups' search function leaves a lot
to be desired.   It often won't find keywords that I type that appear
in messages I manually verify to be there.  Simply awful!)

Teetering on the edge of insanity,
Josef
