This CPU requires memory with a 60ns access time. The system was not designed with wait states in mind. Usually that memory access speed is only found in SRAM. Modern DRAM has difficulty with providing that kind of access speed, even though throughput and bandwidth is far superior to 1980s SRAM and Mask ROMs.<br /><br />Search for the Total DOS Collection, you may find the PC disk image for Castlevania in there.Great Hierophanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04409413307024477304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-90444095931490857572018-10-31T07:37:04.911-04:002018-10-31T07:37:04.911-04:00Hi!

Assuming it works at a speed comparable to the CPU, it would pose no problem to modern RAMs.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.

...Great writeup as always. Love reading your stuff.<br /><br />I do have a couple nitpicks though:<br /><br />You call the Mega Sg "Mega Nt" a few times. You also suggest a "pattern of October announcements" which is not really the case. The Nt Mini was announced in August 2016, so I don't really see the pattern there. "Customer have pre-ordered" isn't grammatically correct. (Nitpicky I know but I hope you appreciate it like I would)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
