- My first posting must have gone to NIL:, ok next try.
-
- At the WoC on Frankfurt you could buy 8375 which should
- be a substitute for the 8372A (the box with the chips was labelled
- 8372A).
-
- According to my bonding diagram of the 8375 and the pinout of the
- 8372A in the technical reference manual for the A2000/500, this
- cannot be true.
-
- The pinout of the two chips is identical except the pins 35 to 55,
- the 8375 has no NTSC/PAL pin and no EXCLK and EXCLKEN pin, as the
- 8372A has.
-
- The 8375 is normally used in the A500+/600 and is able to manage
- 2 MB Chipmem, the 8372A is used in the A500/2000 and can only
- manage 1 MB Chipmem.
-
- Is the 8375 able to determine the machine it is plugged in and change
- the pinout according to it or are there 2 different versions of the
- 8375 out, one for the A500+/600 and one for the A500/2000?
-
- If the last is true, how do I know, that I got the right 8375?

- enough to do it. (taken from GEO special about space, page 88-91)
