- More precisely, the C128 can't do DMA at 2 MHz period. I believe the problem
- with the original roms was that either a) they didn't switch the machine
- down to 1 MHz when doing STASHes or FETCHes using the Kernal or b) screwed
- up the bank switching under certain conditions.
-
- Try it yourself. Write a small program to do a memory transfer (not sure if
- size matters, so make it big) and try executing it at 2 MHz. It will work
- some of the time, but die the rest of the time.
