I'm pretty sure CMD is still manufacturing the
SuperCPU modules. I don't
know if there are any compatibility issues with it however, since I've
never owned one.
Few, actually. It runs in 6502 emulation most of the time, but the timing
really isn't a problem because it talks to the bus at the regular 1MHz and
also keeps IRQs at the regular 60Hz frequency. So a lot of software,
amazingly, works unmodified, and there's a lot of software now that is
being patched to run native.
And CMD does still make them. http://www.cmdweb.com/
