Difference between revB and revC?

Post by mimo »

I have the opportunity to buy a used Rev B board, but before I go ahead, could someone let me know what I will be missing function wise from the RevC boards?

Thanks

nevermind, I see that the revB does not support writing on the Amiga, no big problem to me

Yes no E-mu / Amiga Write support on a rev B board.

Note : A rev B board can be modded to be equivalent to a rev C board (including E-mu / Amiga Write support)

Is this still valid? Does we only need the microchip 23k256 or if we can get another reference for a 256Kbit SPI SRAM it will be OK? (ie does it rely on specific features of the 23k256)

Yes is still valid. If the other is 100% equivalent to 23k256, this should works. Otherwise not...
