I was thinking it might be neat to make a card with co-processor
(6502) that kept prodos in it's own RAM...  the MLI could be patched
to JMP to the RAM on the interface card, and there'd be a bunch
more space for programs for Contiki...

Also would be cool to have a spot for plugging in the IPdragon
unit from the Uther card...  then TCP/IP could be put on the
card as well, and free up even more RAM...

The CPU on the card could run at high speed, and increase
data transfer rates for disk and ethernet access...
