Oh well.... 3 CPUs is a bit of an overstatement. There is a Z80 in
there for user
programs. And a 6809 for I/O (!), the former with 64K RAM, the latter
with 8K IIRC. The last 'CPU' is an NEC 7220 graphics chip with 96K video
RAM. 3 bitplanes, there's no text mode IIRC.
Nope. It's still a good example of 80's ingeniousness though, and I still
want one :)
