I am working on a home project which is a simple parallel computer. It is
based on the 68000 (because they are cheap and 32 bits) and am looking for
some information on the motorola line of devices to support the 68000.
Also, I read about 'pseudo static ram' in the latest Circuit Cellar
(The HM658 128 1 meg chip, 128k x 8) and was wondering where I can
get information like relative performance and price (and where I can
get some). I am only a hobbyist and don't want to have to deal with refresh.
Each processor is connected to its neighbour through a static ram link
buffer with extra circuitry to handle read semaphores and protection lines
to prevent simultaneous buffer access (and the shorts that result). Are
there any other intrepid explorers who have dealved into something like
this and can warn me of possible trouble spots?
