Without individually responding to many of the comments concerning the speed of a gs+ being potentially held back by the 150 ns memory chips, it seems to me that a 64K cache of fast static ram (like in some of the killer 386's) would address many of these concerns. I believe that the Zip Chip has an 8k cache for this purpose since most 6502 code runs in short loops. I think that one bank out of 16 (1 meg) would make the current fast ram / slow ram scheme look silly. Hypothetical? Sure, why not. But, it's at least one response to those who would continue to write off the Apple II as long past dead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Todd A.
