- I am not sure to the answer to this; I think that all I've seen is that there
- will "probably" be "some" speedup in 64 mode as well. This could well mean
- that you'll get the full board speedup in 64 mode, but it might also mean that
- you don't get any speedup.
-
- Incidentally, it looks like the board might be 12 MHz rather than 8 MHz.
-
- You want 64 mode because you use geoPublish, right? I have heard some rumors
- about work on a couple of 128 versions of geoPublish. Haven't seen anything
- solid from it though. Does anybody know anything more about this? Heck, I've
- given thought to trying to write a 128 version myself, though don't expect
- anything like this out of me anywhere in the near future.

-
- I am working on getting the form back on ccosun right now. At this point,
- you will want to send in the $50 directly with the form, and so I am trying to
- get a revised version of the form which reflects everything that Parsec needs
- to know with the deopsit. Keep an eye on the parsec directory on ccosun. I
- will also post the form when I do get ahold of it. Hopefully by the end of
- the week I will have the form.
-
- As regards deadlines, you have at least a month, I would say, and even then I
- don't think it will be too late for quite some time.
-
- I'll keep y'all posted as to what I know about the status of the board, the
- deposit forms, 64 mode speedup, etc.
