You've got it right on the 2nd count... same design as when I first came up
with it at the beginning of '93 at the moment, with an 8Mhz Z80, and 512k
SRAM... slows down for processor writes and IO...

Of course, the finished version will only slow down for *some* writes...
And will have an 18-40MHz processor in it :)
