I believe the current transwarp runs at 8 mhz, but I remember hearing that a
10 mhz board was planned for release at a later date.

As for comparing one with an 80386, FORGET it.  They arent even in the same
class.  An 80386 is a 32 bit processor, the 65816 is CALLED a 16 bit, but I
see it as more of a hacked together 8 bit that looks like a 16 bit.
