Is this possible?  My reading of the hardware manual suggests it is not.
What would be the hardware basis for it (what blitter mode did you think
will do it)?  If there's a hardware mode ... there might not be software
support for the mode, but there IS support for programming the blitter
directly without taking over the system...
