Yes peter you understand correctly
As it happen I have a PPC 750 processor taken from an apple mac and yes I am planning to intregate it into the design at some stage as well as the 68030,68040 and 68060 I also have.
I will be planning to opt for a more positive fixing system like on the falcon but with a thru bus creating a stacking system.
I'm planning to shy a little away from the PCI design as this opens the whole system up to incompatabilities and problems for users. Which cards do you Support for instance. Imagine the size of the ROMs required to support it. I don't fancy using the harddisk to hold the operating system, ROMs cannot be written to by viruses so give you a safe platform to troubleshoot from.
I know PCI will be cheaper but this way I have more control and makes the machine easier to use in the long run, reducing the size of the code required and speeding up the programs being used on the system.
Should this prove to be a problem then a PCI module can be made.
I have just acquired a number of DSP56001 processors and matching memory so will be making an array system like on the SGI systems. Fast 3D graphics anyone!
Thats the beauty of this modular system, the opportunities are endless....a transputer even.
But for now I will be focusing on the task at hand. Converting a Standard STFM into a modular system and replacing the modules stage by stage until I acheive the goal.
The STFM is not much cop these days but it allows me to check for backwards compatibility whilst developing the final system.

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.
