Anyone see what some of the high-end IBM 386 clones are doing too speed up their machines... (as if they need to...:-) The use SHADOW RAM. Basicly they copy the ROM to high speed STATIC RAM and then switch OUT the ROM and switch IN the RAM... The ROMS are usually 200-300 ns while the STATIC RAMs are 25-30 ns... nice. Anyone try it for the Apple... By the way (BTW) this also will work for any computer that has ROMs.... basicly anything... Anyone? -- _____________________________________________________________________________ "The FORCE will be with you. Always."
