[Coco] miniFLASH product

[Al Hartman]

Well, I have a bunch of 8 and 9 chip SIMMS from old 386 and 486 systems.

Oh well...

What would shipping be on a board?

Al,

No more kits.

The $30 gets you an assembled 512K SIMM board. Includes the SIMM, have a few 
left.

The CoCo3 requires a 8bit refresh. Only the 8 or 9 chip SIMMS will work. If 
three chip, forget it...they are 9 bit refresh. Violate the rules and you 
will have memory loss. :)

Mark

Nice!

I've been meaning to write you to order one of the last SIMM based 512k Coco
3 upgrade kits. I have a box full of SIMMs here that should work.

Moved to a different thread.......

Al,

This product will be a direct copy from the sIDE hardware. Might add the
ability to do 2- 32K ROMs....

The sIDE was released in 2004.

I was going to make a separate product call FLASHpak. Have that in prototype
form, would save 600+ paks on a single pak.

Decided to integrate that in to the SuperSD design. These ROMS will be
loaded at boot time. Have this working already, can load a 8K file in ~12mS.

The SuperSD will also have a USB2.0 COM port on it that will run at the
CoCo's full bandwidth, RAW speeds obtained have been ~100K-110K BYTES per
second.

The miniFLASH product will offer a much lower entry point, target is ~$40.

Not all want the power tools, that is fine by me as well. I sold my last
separate disk controllers this past weekend that normally contain HDB-DOS
boot ROMs. So I needed a solution as well.

Nothing earth shattering or great here, just a slimmed down FLASHpak.

Will let you know when it is ready for release.

Regards,

Mark
