Hello Peter,
A. Naturally it will include an expansion port as on the falcon. The CT60 will be accomdated.
B. I will try to match the atari system memory map whilst implementing new maps as required. Also adopting the Atari standard with the shadowing of the system for compatibility between 24bit and 32bit addressing systems.
C. The Bus is upgradable rather than expandable. Yes it can be made bigger like from 16bit to 32bit and beyond but the problems lies with the speed of the chips used. If the chips cannot react fast enough then when more data transfer is required from the video/storage devices/Sound not to mention the CPU then critical data is lost causing the system to malfunction.
For instance the chips used on the ST can cope with speeds of upto 55Mhz, not suitable if running a 68060 for instance.
Newer processors feature backside cache which release the load, allowing parallel processing like on the Apple Mac G5.
The system is in development so features can be added or removed. I may overlook something which is obvious to someone else. Because of the modular system I can remove one section, redesign it and plug in a newer one, costing less and saving time.

What's the anti-troll code?
That's your personal code to be able to add comments and messages on the dhs.nu site.
Don't have a code or forgot it? Fix it here.
