  • The SuperCPU 64 works on a Commodore 128 in 64 mode, but does the SuperCPU 128 work on a Commodore 64?
  • Also, I thought I saw something about the SuperCPU 128 requiring internal modification of the C128... Does this mean that it is not easy sharing it between several computers? (I have one C128 and one C128DCR, and would like to use it with both (1 if possible).
  • Are REUs, RAMLinks and the Super-ram on the SCPU 100% compatible with one another? I.e. any program that uses an REU will be happy with either a RAMLink or the Super-ram?
  • Can an IBM/Mac scsi hard drive be added on to a CMD HD via the edge connector? I.e. can I buy a 40Mb CMD HD and 'daisy chain' a 1Gb IBM/Mac hard drive onto it?
  • As regards the SCPU, does it work perfectly on either PAL based systems and NTSC based ones? I assume the SCPU has to slow down to access VIC at the correct speed, so does it slow to 1.02Mhz or 0.98Mhz? Or am I talking rubbish? 😉
  • Okay. And with the daughtercard, but without the SuperCPU 128, it will function as a normal C128?
