The mega65 can run at 40Mhz. The gotchas on both machines includes working ram size, variables are limited to 200..254 bytes. Stupid that with 32 GB onboard, the program plus data is limited to 32 KB.

Ouch. I guess that's a limit of an 8-bit CPU. It seems they support REUs to add more memory, though.

I didn't understand this. The CBM C64 and VIC20 can accept REU, but why would you try to add 2k bytes to a machine with an unused 32 GB in it already?
I could write a lot more, but it's irrelevant.

Ah, what I meant is that the REU mechanism (bank switching) appears to be the way to access the additional memory of the machine. Similar to how simulated expanded memory (EMS) to access extended memory (EMX) worked in DOS.
