    Thats a good question .. maybe if you get an answer you could also ask why we can't get an graphics card for the IEC bus on my Commodore 64 as well ? No seriously I'd like to know why we can't just stick graphics cards on every bus type out there, I'm sure I heard something about bus speeds, latency and stupidity course but hey maybe there is a good reason ? ;-)
