Aren't most of the tests actually running on the pod ? So speeding up the 9100 would have very little use... Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPad

I alwas thought the timing would be essential to these things running. I wonder how much of the that is in software ie. if you speed the hardware up will the rest fall over?

Seeing as we are talking a bit about the 9100 - has anyone looked into speeding one of these up? Used to be there were speedup kits for old Apple and Atari computers that ran the 68000 (9100A uses the 68000) that involved a 68010, 68020, or 68030 and some glue...

Might be fun for someone with some spare time!

This just cries out for a FPGA! Right...

(c't = a german magazine about 'Computer Technics'. Check out their website ) <http://www.heise.de>
And a bit further and I can't do any more - the source for the PAK68/3 is found in these German Computer Technics magazine articles - and I can't read German!

Cost a couple of Euros each. Includes source code for GALs, etc.
So, a really FAST 9100 may be possible...using CF (thanks to Andy and his pal), next someone needs to create a video card...

Further exploration has led to the German Atari support page, where they provide the schematics, and code for the PAK68/3 which is a plug in 68030 replacement for the 68000 CPU. As far as I can tell this would give you speeds similar to the 9100FT.

Anyone game to work with me on this project over the next while?
