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. ---- ProLine: joeq@pro-odyssey Internet: joeq@pro-odyssey.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-odyssey!joeq ARPA: crash!pro-odyssey!joeq@nosc.mil

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). 0000 0000 00000 | 0 0 0 0 0 | "My name is Bond, 0 0 0 0 0 | James Bond." 0 0 0 0 0 | 0000 0000 0 | James Bond bwillson@sdcc13.ucsd.edu

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. > 0 0 0 0 0 | "My name is Bond, > 0 0 0 0 0 | James Bond."
