Good info
@AmigaHope , i've heard of "burstmode" for years, but never actually understood what it was!
Z3 ram is slower than mainboard ram. i'll try some bustests to compare if i get a chance this evening
@paul1981 good point, i'll try a minimal boot to see if i can keep everything in the 16meg. maybe even pull the z3 ram card out just to see what difference that makes if any.
To be honest, an 030@50 with local ram outgunning an 040@25 without local ram both does and doesn't surprise me
The Blizzard i have with an 040@25 and local ram shows what this CPU could do if supported properly i guess.
an A3630 does 10:34:31 (hrs:mins:sec) with a 25Mhz 882, and putting a 33Mhz crystal on there brings that down to 7:50:54
