    Awwwwww.... geez, Jawaid, howcum you get all the good stuff???  :)  Watch
that the chip doesn't melt down the rest of your system from the excessive CPU
speeds!  Any indication from Tony when we will be seeing some of these chips
in production?  They don't have to be the 25-MHz screamers, I would be
satisfied with a plain 17-MHz 65816... ;)
