AFAIK, the board should upgrade by inserting a new
CPLD.

I'm sincerely hoping Jeri will try to include a 65816
option socket. It could function as either a
replacement processor (like the C-128's Z-80) or a
coprocessor. As a COPper, the 65816 might handle the
main system operations and allow the emulated 6510 to
deal directly with video. At least, that's they way
I'm dreaming of it  :-)
