Right, well the price differnce is about another 10-20UKP on top of the 
original estimate. I checked up, and the R register is the same as it was 
before, as is most other stuff... BUT it has programmable wait states, an 
MMU and a few other nifty things built in -- which probably won't be used 
if it's just an accelerator.

Simple -- Termite needs it :)

Oh, and what's the concensus -- does MY viewer need E-tracker music, or not?
