Apple II Accelerator Project



Okay, this project is not totally dead.  It has
been more than six months that it has been worked
on, but it is not dead yet.  I have waiting to
work on it more pending the purchase of a logic
analyzer and that may be happening soon.  No I am
not trying to get you all excited, I did actually
build a single board computer and have looked into
building a 386 version.  My problem is my
inexperience building single board computers and
properly programming them from boot.  This ain't
no picnic.  Anyway, if anyone has experience
building 8088 related boards I would love to
discuss it with you.  I ran into some timing
problems and my $10 Heathkit second hand scope
just could not handle the frequencies well enough
to see what was going on.  Hence the purchase of a
logic analyzer.  Okay, this is my excuse, but I am
thinking about it.  I would also like to hear from
anyone who is experienced designing accelerators
or understands the theory behind accelerators.  I
have some ideas, but I have no idea if it will
actually work.

Thanks,
Frank
