Has anyone upgraded the 80386 chip and the 387 co-processor
with the Cyrix Cx486DRx2 (1992 Fadal)? It is reported to be 5 times faster
and is pin compatable with the 386. You have to use software to enable
the cache. This was a common upgrade and the Cyrix chips may still
be found.
Next what does this do for you. Right now I do not use the MP32 Dos
computer. My hopes are that because it has a greater memory capacity
is that I can run my programs right from the MP32 computer.
I have DNC'd but do not like how it ties up my computer, my post processor
does not do subroutines ( does anyone have one for mastercam that does?)
and the most I can get in is 471K. Time is also lost loading at 9600 baud.
I would be nice if I could fill up an 1.4 Mb floppy and tranfer files or even better put an old SCSI Card in the compter and tansfer with an old Syquest Cartridge drive.
Anyway do you have any comments or suggestions? |
