Agreed. What types of Simms are u thinking off? EDO is getting
scarecer.
Perhaps EDO, perhaps not. I must try. I don't expect much
difference in standard simple access. I have 1MB SIMM now and I
still have to find the socket for it. I have

I know this. The CPU must have its own fast

2. ZX128 emul - 1/3

4. ISA cross- 0/3

6. Amiga HDFDD - 1/0
7. 28MHz CPU- 0/0
Alright, I vote for 28MHz CPU and DMA . . .

Don't forget that if you're considering doing a 28MHz CPU for the SAM, you
may want to consult with me and /or Martin Rookyard regarding the fiddly
details you'll have to worry about :)

Yep... if you don't get snow on the screen, and the sound still works, and
it can still load from disk, you've cracked it :)
Thinking of which, you may need extra gubbins in there to check for a write

Can I jump in with the Norge nil points quip now? :)
Just be glad you don't get Terry Wogan on your Eurovision Song Contest
coverage.. yuck!

I vote for these two (on one board?)

Surely being in America saves you from any Eurovision anyway?

I'd have to go for:
5. Interlacer - 0/3
7. 28MHz CPU- 0/0
But, then, I don't really understand techy stuff like DMA and ISA. SIMM
compatibility would be nice, as would HDFDDs. Although a more direct
128K emulator sounds good, I'd prefer some _new_ games ;-)

Damn. I _should_ know the name, as I remember looking it up. Can't

Hi!
I want to add one more thing to my hardware project list. This
is extention with CPU compatibile to Z80, but 16b and working at
28MHz. This is all I know in this matter as yet.
So I counted the votes (valid/invalid):
1. 4MB SIMM - 1/3
2. ZX128 emul - 1/3
3. DMA - 0/3
4.
