Processor question
« on: September 22, 2005, 03:34:47 PM »
I have a question;

If you get an accelerator board for an Amiga 1200, just a regular 1230, as an example. What happens to the original processor in the Amiga? Does it have any function left, execpt maybe in some part of the boot process?

I assume not, since you get no info on it with the cpu command in shell. But still, it would be interesting to know exactly what happens to it.

I guess one idea is to pull it out and see what happens, but since I know those old pins can be a bit fragile, perhaps it's best to avoid doing so :-D

But let's not forget old Alice, Lisa, Paula etc. Perhaps not central processor units, but processor units never the less  :-P
