Is it possible to construct a system combining both the 34020 and the Intel
chip to combine the fast rendering abilities of the 34020 with the fast 
window operations of the 82786? This, it seems, could provide a means of
speeding the window scrolling bottleneck while still allowing the powerful
rendering of the TI chip.
