Both video RAM and ROM memory are above the 8 Meg boundary (I don't know where the sound memory is). Generally, RAM might be limited to 8 Meg on cards from Apple computer, but it is possible to add RAM above the 8 Meg boundary, so the total linearly addressed RAM can be much more than 8 Meg. >>- How many microprocessor it has ? > ONE 65816 at 2.8 MHz (which also can run at 1 MHz) Actually, there is another 65C02 superset microcomputer - complete with RAM, ROM and built-in I/O peripherals - to run the Apple DeskTop Bus. Make that two microprocessors. Just because you can't load your own programs into the ADB CPU doesn't mean that you aren't benefitting from parallel processing (imagine the performance of the GS if it handled ADB directly?). >> >> Roberto Nunes > >Murph Sewall Brian Willoughby UUCP: ...!{tikal, sun, uunet, elwood}!microsoft!brianw InterNet: microsoft!brianw@uunet.UU.NET or: microsoft!brianw@Sun.COM Bitnet brianw@microsoft.UUCP
