CyberstormPPC and more than 128MB RAM

[Piru]

No

The 128MB limit is the limitation of the A3000/A4000 CPU Slot.

Fastline Z3 doesn't connect to the CPU slot, does it?

Anyway, as far as I can tell there is no way to have more than 128MB thru the CPU slot, at least if you intend to have DMA access to the memory.

@Zac67

How can the fast slot limit the memory that lives completely on the CPU card?

It doesn't.

It'd suck to have no DMA to this memory. Granted any on board HW could obviously have DMA, but Zorro would be out.

The question was if CSPPC could be made to have more than 128MB. It can't.

GVP Trex040:
Max Ram: Unknown but probably 64MB without RAM board and 256MB with RAM board.

This is wrong then?

Yes. At least I've never heard of 32MB GVP SIMMs.

@A6000

A new card would probably have it's own DMA controller to address the full memory on board.

That still wouldn't give Zorro3 DMA for this extra memory, however.

Such board would require total redesign, you can't retrofit that on CS PPC.
