[M100] Switchable clock doubler schematic

2023-05-13 Thread Stephen Adolph
I continue to hack away at making an easy to install clock doubler board for Model T computers. I realize that modifying hardware is not of interest to most, but I spend a lot of time on it myself. The point of the activity is to allow the user to switch from nominal 2.5MHz operation to 2x or

System bus on T102 is hamstrung compared to M100. T102 can only support IO read write whereas m100 exposes both memory and io. The bus runs at full speed. Every cpu cycle on M100 could run on the expansion bus. For IO only as in the T102, your ability to read or write is limited by the software

Hi Dan, I don't know of a single rom for M10. I think the best bet is actually to use the M100 ROM in thr M10. That way you get all M100 roms in the M10. I have posted a modified M100 rom at the bitchin100 wiki that runs in a Qwerty M10. Steve On Saturday, March 4, 2023, Dan Eicher wrote: >
