- Just try this on an A3000. The trick is that for writing to
- chip memory the CPU databus is only occupied for a short time.
- If you would immediately start another write it is delayed for
- the next chip memory slot. But it is possible to do a fast memory
- read and still be fast enough to not miss the next chip memory
- slot.
- That means, a copy loop transfers 7MByte/s.
-
- This is not true on the A4000/040. Probably an effect of the
- A3640s bus interface.
