This was because of the older ram chips' response time, correct? If you wanted to upgrade the ram chips to faster ram, would that work? Would the same go for a //e as well?Not sure, I never had to go any farther since Rich Dreher made the CFFA work on a IIplus. If I remember correctly, the RAM chips actually got hot with the C02 installed! It is entirely possible faster RAM would do the trick but it would just be easier to find an accelerator on eBay. Why risk frying a board.
Of course, replacing an Apple II's processor with a faster processor won't do anything to accelerate it. The problem with using a 65C02 in an Apple ][+ has to do with setup and hold time differences, and some liberties taken in the Apple II design. -michael Music synthesis for 8-bit Apple II's!
