RE: [N8VEM-S100:2802] A new 16MB S100 Bus static RAM board



Guy’s I sorry to say that I think I will have to do one more prototype of the 16MG S100 static RAM board. A was doing some things in 80386 protected mode and to my horror realized that RAM writes at one location was being duplicated at another location. For example filling RAM at 80000H also fills 280000H. Clearly address line(s) screw-up. 

 

It turns out keeping track of these address lines is more complicated that you might think because I want to use the same mezzanine boards on this board as on the 32MG (and later) boards that utilize fast/pipeline 32 bit addressing (and a very  different layout).

 

Anyway seeing how many want the board I’m reluctant to chance a large order and have everybody disappointed.

 

So please be patient I will try and move things as fast as possible.

 

John

Todd, I'd like to increase my order to
3x RAM boards + 2x mezzanine each (6 total)

Thanks,
Fabio
