 There was also one which ran at 12mhz, but I dont think it really got off
the ground. (suppliers made some then stopped supporting 64s..). A shame
because it would have made the 64 effectively as fast as a 386. If I had
the time/money/inspiration I'd like to try and make one of these but I'm
not sure on how the fast processor
interacts with the VIC/SID chips when they are still running at 1mhz..
