See the Oric for an example of three accesses per cycle in a 6502 system:

Thanks for that image! I should be ashamed...I'm an avid collector of vintage computers (over 60+) and I haven't heard of the ORIC until recently.

With the right trickery CGA can do much, much better than that.. ask the guys behind 8088 MPH. 256 colours? No problem. Not enough? Okay then..
That is amazing! Makes me want to break out my Tandy 1000 EX and play with some old-school demos/games (would have to move my Commodore's and Atari's out of the way...lol).

I love reading how a group of people crack yet another hidden secret of these legacy systems.
