Yep, that works. The SuperCPU solution is pretty elegant - a 1 byte
FIFO so that stores can be done at full speed (from the 65816's
perspective) and it'll only halt if there is already a byte in the
FIFO that hasn't been written.

All you need is a JTAG cable, which connects to your PC's parallel
port. It's actually quite simple to program CPLD:s, check out Nicolas
Coplin's article that he posted earlier:
