 (And before y'all argue about backdraws, of course
I know that
it is close to imposssible to get the TTL running at 1 MHz inside
the NMOS specs, but that can be solved by lowering the CPU clock
and selecting an aprobiate Application :)

I just belive this would give a _great_ display - unlike all
these dump displays where they put a sack of transistors beside
a uP and tell you just that they are equivalent.

My point exactly. There is no practical application to build this like there
is no practical reason not to junk every old computer around. They make a
great display and are fun to play with. I'd rather have a few hundred Flip
Chips doing something rather than collecting dust as *spares* on a shelf.
