Hi Chris,
I'm not really bother as to the actual terms by which all these ports, buses,
slots, holes, etc go by, we all know what we are getting at 🙂
What I was "loathing" was the fact that C= are going to knacker my FAST RAM
expansion which I paid 300 quid (Sterling) for. I'm really looking forward to
the new generation of 3-D stuff this CD is going to bring, but it'll be totally
wasted on a machine with only CHIP RAM. Not to mention the '030 boards.
The real question will be whether to buy the CD-32 or to buy the add-on. I
suppose I can wait til XMas to find out what C= do, but I thought a few here
would know. Basically folk here have helped enlighten me further, which is
great.
The PCMCIA "bus" is now slowly become used, we have a HD available for it.
The CD-32 add-on will use the expansion bus (trapdoor) because it uses the
"Akiko" chip for graphic conversion. I need this on the CD-32 add-on, just as
long as FAST RAM is addressed. This is also true for the CD-32 itself, I hope
C= make it expandable with FAST RAM.
