USB card: UltraBUS - one step closer to production stage...
A few days ago the final prototype of the UltraBUS USB card
has been sent to us by individual Computers. As soon as this
prototype successfully passes all neccessary tests, producing
the first batch of production stage UltraBUS boards shouldn't
be delayed any further.
This prototype already has all basic features of the final product
- including the 512k FlashROM and the very promising 16bit mode
which should not only show remarkably reduced overhead on the
target system in certain cases, but also result in a noticable
improvement of performance on lower specced systems.
Due to the ISP (in system programmable) features of the whole
board, final optimisations of the autoconfig logic and the
featured TripleBus (zorro, clockport, expansion port) can be
applied at any time during the following testing and production
stage.
