    processor
  • 68040 @ 28 MHz (clocked asynchronously to the A2000 motherboard)
    memory
  • eight 30 pin SIMM sockets accept up to 32 MB RAM
  • takes 1 or 4 MB SIMMs, 80 ns or faster
  • accepts SIMMs in groups of four giving 4, 8, 16 or 32 MB configurations
  • not autoconfiguring - requires software
  • does not give contiguous 32 bit RAM, it separates 2 MB as 16 bit RAM - RomTagMem is required to make it all 32 bit and contiguous
  • up to 8 MB RAM can be configured in the 68000 address space (2, 4 or 8 MB) - access is slower to this RAM
  • burst RAM access
