The Gold Card and Super Gold Card are quite different in this respect. The custom logic on the GC and SCG that I have are both Altera chips that max out at 50MHz, which gives a top CPU speed of 25 MHz. However, the SGC clocks the CPU at 24MHz, probably because that frequency allows faster memory t

[Ql-Users] [ql-users] [off-topic] Updates in Dave-land...

Hi all, I was laid low the last couple of weeks with another horrible chest infection. As a Brit living in a tropical climate, it seems I have finally acquired the tree-pollen allergy that all people who move here seem to get after 3-4 years. This causes me to be vulnerable to whatever's around, a

Picture 6, 9 is a SPEM v2 memory expansion - poor design with very slow memory. Picture 17 is SPEM V1 memory expansion - sort of a prototype - the socket is inserted between the 68008 and its socket. Inadequate decoupling caps. Someone cloned this board and made 100s of copies, not knowing it was s

Re: [Ql-Users] Yahoo Groups

The majority of the components I have laying around here for the last 7+ years are for Goldfire. It was a Coldfire + FPGA combo SGC+Aurora equivalent as I recall. I was shown a schematic once, and it was VERY tight... Compact to the Nth degree. Then Nasta left the US and suddenly communication sto

[Ql-Users] QL replacements - state of play...

Hi all, So here's the state of play in designing new QL replacements... Peter Graf is bogged down with some issues on his board. It has a decent spec but it doesn't currently "work" in a meaningful sense. He has various obstacles (working alone) that mean his design will be delayed or not release

Hi all, I have now received the backplane components from Tony, and ordered the extra components I need to complete the PCBs. They will be available in approximately 3-4 weeks. I anticipate they will cost about £45 including S&H. I'll post full details when they're ready. I'm also waiting for
