I was pointing out that is the processor was running fast enough even a
dog can look good. ;) Obviously using a 8mhz z80 as the standard your
comparison CPU had better be of similar generational speed or it may fail
the test. the inverse is with a 33mhz z185 I know I can blow the 65c02
out of the water unless someone has at least a 25-30mhz 6502!
