A500 accelerators
« on: June 06, 2008, 05:19:19 AM »
Does anyone know how an external accelerator synchronizes with the internals of an Amiga 500?

The accelerator goes 28mhz and the A500 goes 7 mhz.
Thanks in advance.

What I have got so far is this.
For example a 68030 would send the 68000 a active Low BR.
Then the 68000 would send an active low BG. The 68030 gives an active low BGACK.
I feel the question now is how do two different clocks get synchronized.
I am suspecting C1, CDAC, C3, AS, and DTACK is responsible for  it.
Thanks.
edit:
humbly:I know that the 68000 does not get removed.

Another example is when the 68000 is removed. I understand that there are wait states between buses with two different speeds. This may be the answer I am looking for.
