Question:
    "How are you running/using the ASIC?"

Can you physically replace the Apple's 65816 and crystal or do you need
a TWGS or ZIP?

Does the ASIC have different power consumptions than WDC/GTE chips? To use
a chip >10 Mhz typically needs a larger power supply. Can I assume the ASIC
is low power?

I guess what I am asking is: What does someone need to use the ASIC assuming
it actually becomes available this decade?
