The more I think about it, the less enticing a 65816 option seems to me,
of course I have a Super CPU :-)

If Jeri includes a 65816, it needs to be able to replace the SCPU as well
as work *with* it.  I.e. if a SCPU is present, the card should switch
itself into a video accellerator mode instead of a whole-system
accellerator, and let the SCPU do the job it was designed for.

If a SCPU is NOT present, the card should be able to replace it, and run
programs designed for the SCPU without modifications.  After all, it's
probably easier to add a video driver to a program than it is to rewritre
the program to run under a different environment.
