Subject: BBC Master + 2nd processor

I've been thinking of speeding up a 2nd processor (project now delayed
until the next holidays, unfortunately) and got to thinking what I'd have
to upgrade. I am talking about the external boxed type of 2nd proc., so
there's little risk of it taking my Master with it to the next world if
something goes wrong :-)

My main question is, can I just change the processor and the memory for
faster versions, and hope the rest copes, or do I need to change anything
else? If the glue logic is not man enough for the job that's easy to cure,
but I sense a problem with the UART. If anyone has any specs for the beast
I'd like to know its max. ratings. It already has a heatsink on it because
it got far too hot to touch (for long)!
