I've heard of a processor swap to increase the Amiga to 14 Mhz. Is this for real? If so where does one get the parts ? (ie the processor) If this subject has been discussed before, please send replies in email. to samuel@ucf1vm.bitnet Thanks!

Sorry -- I don't read this group as often as I should. I have two different P/D instructions on how to hack the 500 in order to double it's speed. I've also see something in an AmigaWorld ad that looks like the same thing fo $40. I have a basic understanding of electronics and I know a bit about digitial electronics (logic gates and such) and the making of the thing doesn't bother me, but what does is, how compatible is it? I wouldn't mind losing maybe 2 programs to have a lot (well to me anyways) speed, but if it means that I will loose A-Max II and Lemmings -- forget it. Anyone use one of these things? Thanks...

Can anyone tell me what the gain of speed for the Transformer
IBM simulator would be? 100%? And for a C-compiler?
Thanks in advance
Ferry.

You have to do some pretty optimal code to see even as much as the 50-70% range. It's just enough for Transformer to almost keep up with a 2400 baud modem while running ProComm.
