My good old Amiga has at max. 10 % of the CPU of your Magnum and can
print more than 20000 chars/s using proportional fonts on his 1024x1024
display. So don't tell me there's nothing to speed up. I read the
code of the G364 support and *shiver* ... Just take a look at the
code for scrolling:

Hmmm ... As an alternative - does someone feel like hacking support
for (E)ISA cards in the Magnum? I know, as Magnums have a complete
system on board their owners usually don't test the slots for the whole
lifetime of the system ...
