Ever since I saw that IIGS accelerators plug into the
processor socket, I have wondered if it would be
possible to design a processor emulator. Not an
Apple II emulator, mind you, but a straight hardware
65C816 emulator. Imagine a fast, low power CPU.
Maybe a 1.0Ghz mobile Duron with supporting
hardware on a small card that plugs into the IIGS
CPU socket. Or put the hardware on a card that
plugs into a IIGS slot.
If power is the problem, an external power brick
could be added (like the never released Voodoo6
from the late 3dfx).
Now if you are talking add-on hardware for C-One,
I would much rather see a IIGS card for the PC
because today's software IIGS emulators just do
not cut it!
