I've also scrapped the SRAM storage in favour of
SDRAM.
For the ?5 unit cost of the 256K*16 Cypress SRAM, I've managed
to get a 4M*16 PC133 SDRAM chip. This gives a maximum track length
of 4*1024*1024 (4194304) magnetic transitions; probably far more
than any floppy disc ever made.
I have a fair number of 128MB PC133 DIMMs just sitting there.
16MB x 72 iirc.
Given that the socket is the same, how easy/hard would it be
to have one of these just work.
I have some 512MB (64MB x 72, again iirc). Same question :-)
- Am I too late with this? Is it worth continuing and
finishing the
project?
No, Yes.
- If I said one of these boxes would cost ?75 (around
the same as a
Catweasel), would you buy one?
Yes.
- Are there any features you guys think I should add?
Support for 128MB + 512MB DIMMs.
- Does the licence sound too restrictive?
Sounds OK to me.
