You'll be doing bidirectional memory accesses across a bus where both 
sides run off different clocks.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but you have to do it & there will be 
headaches

You misunderstood, I am talking about 65816 demo effects.

I don't know how many 6510 demos use illegal opcodes, but none of my old 
demos used them though.
