While I do think the M68K family is awesome, what could one do with a
68008 in a CBM-II?  I would think it would take porting some existing
ecosystem over to it (filesystem, assembler, probably C compiler,
maybe a version of BASIC, utilities, etc).  And then, there would
still have to be some effort to port any applications over or write
them from scratch.

It sounds theoretically cool, but what would it do?  What would be the
reason to put in that much effort?  What could it do that would give
it some "wow"?
