[comp.sys.apple2] 65c02

joeq@pro-odyssey.cts.com (Joe Quilici) (12/20/90)

A friend of mine mentioned he had a 27 Mhz 65c02 cartridge for his Commodore,
I thought a 65c02 operating at such a high speed would be an impossible
engineering feat.  Someone enlighten me, please.

Thanks.

The cartridge probably divides the clock frequency down by 8 or even 16
before feeding it into the CPU.

Right.  I currently have an older, 6502 processor in my //e.  This
prevents me from using things like the mini-assembler (granted, I
could go via integer BASIC, but ugh and that omits ProDOS as well),
newer version of Copy //+, as well as any of the newer versions of
Shrinkit (at least the last one I saw, I stopped downloading them at
about v1.1) and relegates me to the use of Shrinkit II+ (plus I
understand that Shrinkit II+ can't unpack stuff packed with the new
Shrinkit (heard that from someone else.  I haven't used a new
version of Shrinkit in a year, so I couldn't say)).
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to obtain a new,
65c02 processor to replace my old one, short of buying so-called
"upgrade kits" (I already have plenty of memory (well, there's no
such thing as too much memory, but my supply is sufficient)).
Anyway, thanks for any help you might be able to give.
BTW, please respond in mail as it's much easier for me to get wind
of it that way (already backlogged in reading newsposts).

Sigh -- before you go and post all sorts of meaningless speculation, why
not *ASK* whether it works or not??  I mean, after all, this is one of the
reasons I'm on the net.

ShrinkIt for the II+ -WILL- unpack anything that ShrinkIt 3.x or GS-ShrinkIt
will pack.  If you can't stand II+ ShrinkIt, then you can get a program
called "Auto-Unshrinkit" which also works on the II+ or 6502 IIe.  It's
a simple shrinkit archive extractor program that does speech synthesis if
you have an Echo speech box and will recover the good parts of damaged
ShrinkIt archives if your disks with archives on them go bad.
