	Maybe because 90% of the people out there DO have to, since they already
own cruddy PC-compatible equipment designed with DOS in mind? And these same
units are the only affordable ones?

	It's not a rumour, it's a fact. And even if VGA didn't have wait
states, it STILL can't go any faster than the PC's slow bus in the first
place.

	The bus is not 7,14Mhz, it is 14, even on the 68000 units.
