Title: FPM SIMMS. Are amiga Compatible?
Post by: Fransexy_ on February 11, 2008, 07:44:25 PM
Are the FPM SIMMs compatible with blizzard cards or they must be EDO SIMMs?

The 1230IV at least can take both. See if you find the manual for yours at the Unofficial phase5 Support Page (http://phase5.a1k.org/index.php?id=2).

No Amiga Accelerator used either feature, so don't worry... :-)

FPM is the preferred RAM for Amiga accelerators.

All info I can find only says that EDO will work... not that the Feature is used... I seriously doubt any Amiga Memory controller uses FPM or EDO...

From the benchmarks, it does seem that the Quickpak does use the EDO feature... that would make sense, as the Quickpak is the newest of the Accels...

Read the test of 1200XL  :-D  Don't remember if it was CU or AF, BUT 1200XL was the fastest 030/50 accelerator (using EDO features), and the only one which did over 10 MIPS on SysInfo AFAICR
