Hey now -Seems like itīs not all too late, then? :)
Dont worry about pix res/colors or serial speed,
The TOSter will have it all.
You want 1280x960xTC, you got it.
And the serial can share the USB chip
-Does your modem cope up to 12Mbit? hehe
Just because Tramiels decided to fill the
Falcon up with every limitation they could
think of, doesnīt mean the hardware canīt
do better!! -It can, very much better too...
Heck, they didnīt use even half the hardwares
potential! Canīt stop wondering why...
Anyway, the VIDEL is certainly not in question
here, there are much better stuff around. :)
And for the bus;
Iīm just about to try out my theories about
haveing several CPUs shareing one clock osc,
Iīm doing three different cards right now.
Now, IF this turns out well, (cross fingers!)
then all our CPU problems are gone, indeed.
Current RAM it will be, SDRAM is not only
cheaper, itīs a demand for this liīl baby!
SDRAM are limited to 133MHZ? Well, then all
weīd have to do to match that, is to put
three 030/44,333MHZ-each on the CPU card, or
two 040/66,5MHZ-each. Then the whole system
can run synced to one single 133MHZ osc.
INCLUDING the DSP302! Everything in perfect
sync, even the *32 bit BUS*, sounds ideal!
Now, that board would beat them all, right?
Why limit anything to 33MHZ, when itīs not
nessecery? SDRAM are cheap nowdays -The only
thing that can cost a bit is the DSP, but it
would be worth it. The rest is standard stuff
so the board should be reasonable cheap.
-If not very...
OK, the Colfire could fit in too, if people
are ready to rewrite both OS and every APP,
to cope with the changed instruction set. :(
(sorry -not my idea!)
Anyone heared why MOTO changes inst set in
every new CPU? The Coldfire HAS a 68K kernal,
and should have kept these instructions...
