They are in my basket to order more. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Will try and do it later.

Good & quick idea. No, not yet. Very little other than combination testing so far.
Ah, rats. I completely forgot there is a fully functional on board processor which will honour those bus requests even if the external processor has its BR tied high.

That will definitely make things worse!

Time to break out the custom no-DMA emutos again, but that will only boot to CLI as will have to fit on a cartridge until the TOS boards are back.
