Can this modern version work in a GS without running the GS
at slow speed?
I don't see why not. This card is basically a completely separate
computer linked to Apple only by a single 8 bit register each way.
However Apple only services i/o, so its speed won't make CPM
programs run any faster.
I was just concerned about having to slow down the GS just to use the
card at all, like I do with my current Z80 card.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this card is a clone of the card that
will let me host a CP/M partition inside of a ProDOS partition on a
hard drive, correct?
I just looked at the list of chips that my universal programmer
supports and I probably could do that CPLD (I can't quite read the
part number in the photo), but I don't have the 44-pin PLCC adapter.
It wouldn't be worth the expense to get the adapter for a one-time
use, however. I have a 32-pin PLCC ZIF adapter, but I don't think I
could fold that Xylink chip into it :-)
