   yep even another 6502 cpu board, when i sav that i thinked why, today i know   
   more why it was so cool   
      
   same practice is in amiga where 68000 is just one control center for all the   
   rest of the girls on mainboard, if the market as today was build on that idear   
   there would be better computers and mac was better :)   
      
   shame on the few that belived we need to put a 80286 into a500 to make it   
   possible to run all the good software from friends at that time, today its   
   seems silly :(
