- A very "inteligent" idea;-(( no memoryprotection with OS4.x and much more
- important: NO VMEM ... only expensive ram...
- And a slow base for later CHRP-Software. That`s much more expensive than
- takeing a computer-type cpu for a "telephon"-type;-((.
- Yes, VMM is running on A3000 with 4MB and it`s possible to run ADPRO and
- other nice programms...an A4000ec with 8MB isn`t -(((((((.
-
- What about 68040PGA? There should be 3.3V parts I heard? It would me
- a better choice to take it, IMHO. It`s available in LC, EC and FULL...
-
- Prices are dropping and it won`t be a problem to use the
- the MC68040RC-40MHz version on demand or in later versions without
- a new design.
- They are doing a new 060-board for A4000T...why not use the same
- chip for an 040 in A1400?!
-
- I don`t think a customer would buy an ec030 if he could get an ec040
- for additional $60 with more than twice that speed.
- It`s one thing I don`t understand...it`s a pure advertizing problem...
-
- Pentium is getting minimum now...compared to it the MC68ec030-40 is
- obsolete. Wake Up, there are NO Apple machines left with 030....
- and 040 are getting off.
-
- > DSP56300CLASB DPZZ TCCX N 1 300.020 - DSP-MAC (80MHz, soon 100Mhz)
- What`s its speed compared to C80-66 or the new IBM?
-
- An A1400 would be a little overpowered with ..300 but it would be
- useful for A4000T class. There doesn`t have to be a new mainboard
- because they are doing a new CPU module...
-
- What about a f*cking ET4000w32 for $30...or S3-868 (not 64V*) for viewing
- MPEG with A4000T? A4000T for Multimedia? Yesterday...
-
- I don`t thing this stuff is a dream (except 56300)...it`s needed till
- the PPCs are comming mid `97!
