Sweet-16 is Steve Wozniak's 16-bit processor emulator.  It was designed
way back when the Apple II was designed.  It used the first 32 (?) bytes
of zero page memory as a set of sixteen 16-bit registers.  Real hacker
stuff.

There was an article in Byte magazine about Sweet-16, and I think the
same article was reprinted with the original Merlin (Southwestern Data
Systems) documentation.
