- C>The truth is: the F 030 has a internal RAM port with 16 data and 24 address
- C>pins. (i've seen the specs and I've seen the layout)
-
- (looking at the developer specs... Ah! Found.)
- Right, this is an expansion slot, carrying data bits 16-31 only. This is not
- the CPU bus!
- This expansion slot is meant to be 68000 compatible, therefore the limitation.
-
- C>On the other hand a german magazine has tested, that the processor accesses
- C>the RAM as if it was a 32 bit memory.
-
- This is right.
-
- Please post this answer to the public in CS.ST.TECH, as I have no access.
