Hm. This idea is quite nice actually. Why didn't I have it :-)
I think the 6510 with 2 MHz (because of the MMU 74ls610 delay you 
need a faster CPU - it puts the addresses on the bus earlier, even 
if clocked with 1Mhz) is not available, and I would have to build
the CPU port myself. And then you can also take 65sc816 or such a beast
for it - although the MMU solution is _much_ more elegant :-)

That was a comment on something I don't remember...

The NMI line of the CPU is only connected to the expansion port of the 
8032 (see your schematics on funet - BTW could you please upload a version
where the drawing color is not transparent? Netscape prints transparent
on white -> completely white :-( The 3008 schematics is ok.)
