Description: Rare and perpetually out of stock, this is the fastest accelerator for the Apple IIe (able to reach 16.6mhz speeds at the flick of a knob or press of a button). This is the even rarer, larger 1,024KB version. The FASTChip //e accelerates the Apple //e™ by replacing the on-board microprocessor with a much faster one. Because the memory on the Apple //e™ can only run at a 1 MHz speed maximum, faster memory (SRAM) must be provided to increase performance and allow the 65C02/65C816 CPU to run at full speed. To do this, the FASTChip //e contains 512KB/1024KB of fast SRAM memory. The clever design allows the acceleration of programs running in both main and auxiliary memory. The additional FASTChip //e memory can emulate both 192/448 KB fast RamWorks compatible RAM and 256/512 KB fast RamFactor (slinky) compatible RAM. FASTChip //e features Easy to install card, installable in slot 1-7 of the Apple //e™, or Enhanced //e. Does not mechanically interfere with the 80 column card in slot 3. 65C02/65C816 microprocessor running at a clock rate of more than 16 MHz . External Hardware Control Panel with controls and LED display. CPU frequency can be changed real-time via rotary knob (0.2Mhz to 16.6Mhz). Stop/Pause and Status buttons for easy control. 4 digits x 7 segment LED display. Built in 192/448 KB fast RamWorks compatible RAM. Built in 256/512 KB fast RamFactor (Slinky) compatible RAM. Low power design for cool operation. Acceleration of programs running in both main and auxiliary memory. Compatible with most interface and expansion cards for the Apple II/IIe. Transparent operation with all Apple II software. An easily accessed built-in software control panel lets you control processor speed, memory, joystick, speaker sound quality and many other options. Package include FASTChip PCB - 1. pcs Control panel PCB - 1. pcs Ribbon cable - 1. pcs
