Re: 65832 Projects

What I would want is "mostly" MUCH greater speed. While 32 bit data bus and address bus might be nice (esp data for SPEED), the nicest thing would be a pin compatible 65816 that was dual clocked, so that while the IIgs ran at 2.8 mhz, the CPU ran 3-5 times faster. Of course, an onboard cache (64K?) would certainly help....
I don't see much being done with a 32 bit 6502, who would port Linux to it? How many people use GNO now?
But getting greater speed without trying to buy the super rare turbo boards... that's the ticket.
OR, if you could create a 65816 that ran at, say 32 mhz (I once read that the 65816 should have been capable of 99 mhz) and had a turbo card that would run like that, supplying DMA to an onboard 8 megs of RAM, with an on board IDE and ethernet - hey, I'd easily cough up $100 - $200 for something like that.

65832 Projects

    I have been studying 65816 and 65832 microprocessors.  As far as we have
already discussed 65832 in the previous posts in newsgroups.  I would like
to provide some ideas that will probably become existence.
    My goal is to develop 65832 according to my own design.  The fact is
that 65816 and 65832 are the exact same except 65832 has 32 bit width for
registers only.
    Please list some ideas that you want me to add.

    1) Expand up to 4GB memory space beyond 16MB.
    2) Add new instructions that handles 4GB memory address.
    3) Add Protected Memory
    4) Add Flat Memory (Without spanning 64KB page)
    5) Add MultiThreading for GS/OS v6.0.1 and later (Run two or more
applications at same time).
    6) Emulate 6502 and 65816 games under GS/OS with 32-bits (Like Mac OS X)
    7) Improve Branch Instructions (Like Branch from 0 to 4,294,967,296
bytes (Double Word Integer)
    8) Overcome limitation of 256 Instruction OpCodes
    9) Replace 24-bits to 48-bits memory addressing or use flat memory
    10) What additonal ideas do you suggest?

    I appreciate that you are going to share with your ideas because 6502 is
the most famous popular in the world that we want to expand beyond
limitation like x86 into Pentium.....
