I just got a Rocket Chip. I had expected a small increase in speed over the
ZIP-CHIP but actually got much more. I don't know the how or why but
PUBLISH-IT! seems to run about twice as fast.(how's that for scientific
measurement?)There is no pause between changes to the screen and redrawing.
Now for the bad news. It doesn't quite fit in my //c with zram. The chips a
little too high. I replaced the two nylon posts that came with ZRAM with
slightly longer ones to take the pressure off the chip. Here's my solution,
if I can find the part. I would like an "extension socket". I need a mail
40 pin connector to fit into the 65c02 socket with about six inches of cable
and a female socket to plug the rocket chip into. Does anyone have any
idea where I could get such a part? This would allow me to lay the chip
in the mid-left area where there is a little more room. Any leads would
be greatly appreciated.
