Last night a new version of the vera documentation was uploaded (https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-docs/blob/master/vera-mo...). It looks like the changes will allow for more memory, up to 1mb. Of which the last 64kb seem to be reserved for the registers, so max 960kb.

Constantly copying data to the VERA (chasing the beam/screen), seems unpractical. The 6502@8MHz can never move that much data.

Sweet. That much VRAM will pretty much eliminate the need for the video system to be on the main bus.
