has anyone ever been known to use multiple KA630s? Ive read that this is =
possible,but haven't seen anything else. Could NetBSD be made to use =
them? Also,has anyone overclocked a KA630? Would you just replace the =
40Mhz oscilator? If anyone has done it,how fast did they get it and what =
is the limiting factor? If I replaced the memory with faster chips,would =
it help? Perhaps replacing some of the TTL with faster ones as well?
On another related note,does anyone have any information on the memory =
interface to a KA630. I was thinking it might be interesting to see what =
would be involved in building a board that could take,say FPM SIMMSs.The =
memory boards seem to be relatively simple and a typical SIMM is way =
faster than what they KA630 us using.
