Since Apple would never do such a thing, it wouldn't be called an Apple II. So no name-prejudice! Personally, I think this is a great idea. Have a 15-20MHz 65816 with corresponding VLSI for II emulation, plus memory management, and new FASSSSST i/o support. The <Insert Company Name Here> IIf. I don't think model IDs can be protected, can they? I mean, there's the Camaro RS and the Capri RS (well, used to be anyway).
