So how "game friendly" is uIP? Is it possible to run it like an IRQ
loader; have the game run in IRQs and just have uIP sit in the back-
ground and use whatever CPU cycles are left? Then it's just the issue
of getting SLIP to work -- most people will want to run it with a
Windows host.

PS: anyone know of a graphics chip for a hobbyist project? The only
    one I know of is the 6845, but I'm not sure if it fits (I need RGB
    output). I would need a tiled graphics mode similar to multicolour
    chars on the C64.
