Terry should have gotten a sponsorship from a tech museum before he toured it. Plenty of tech museums would have probably gladly sponsored it and hosted it in their public museums while giving Terry some of the proceeds. He really didn't think this through and now he's just gotten greedy.
I really hope it doesn't vanish off in a private collection never to be seen again, as this tends to be a trend. Terry, if he has a brain, should cancel the auction and find a public tech museum to host it and get proceeds for it. Ben Heck basically did a lot of painstaking work now... for nothing.
I think if the SuperFX chip could have been internalized, other chips could have been as well, especially the SA-1 CoCPU which was an overclocked 65c816 CPU. We already have seen the abilities of that CPU at work with the upgrade made to Gradius III in a romhack and Voltaire's projects on Twitter and YouTube.
A lot of people have said the SNES-CD wouldn't have been that powerful, but I really beg to differ. If the SA-1 could have been utilized properly, it would have effectively doubled the power of the SNES itself, and even then, games could have actually been patched via the CD-ROM system using either a sideload method like using ips files without attaching them to a ROM, or they could have inserted a program to rewrite a ROM with a patch code applied. The system was flexible if it was utilized properly.
By the time the nextgen console would have appeared from Nintendo and Sony, what would have been the N64 would have been more like the PSOne and would have had a staggering success.
