6502/Z80 speed comparison (was MITS 2SIO serial chip?)

There are lots of claims out there that the 14 MHz part actually runs quite
safely and reliably at 20. Unfortunately, they won't tell me what they charge
for their full-speed chip, so I won't order 'em. There are HDL's out there for
6502 core at considerable speeds well in excess of 20 MHz.
