This may not exactly follow the provious post, but this question came up
on a local board. Does the //gs, in GS/OS, access the 3.5" drives at 1MHZ
or at 2.8 MHZ, through the smartport. My understanding was that all access
to the lower 64K were at 1MHZ. And that the drives were accessed through the
lower 64K. I thought that the increased speed of GS/OS was the result of
the 16 bit processor working more efficiently than the 8 bit (P16 v1.3) at
the same speed. Dave Lyons, are you listening?
