in response to your note about the clock speed of the Apple //GS:
You have fallen into a very common trap..equating clock speed with
instruction execution speed.   Like the 65c02, the 65816
executes its shortest instructions in 1 clock cycle.  The 68000
takes a minimum of 4 and usually about 8 clock cycles per instruction.
thus the Apple//GS, when effectively programmed, may be able
to keep up with a 12-mhz 68000.
