The cache upgrade on the TWGS, stinks.  You could get 4 32K high speed SRAMs
for the GS for that price.  Just expressing an opinion.

That's Western Design Center (WDC)... you should read the article... the 65816
still requires a "shmoo" 65816, and the ~5.5v... which means you have to get a
variable voltage regular and also some resistor & capacitors to adjust the
voltage.  You have to figure out the values of the RCs your self and TWGS
doesn't give you a place to put these things anywhere like the Zip GSX.
