F-SICK!

If you relate Total RAM-to-TransferSpeed ratio as a "figure of merit", the little Atari is clocking a [11.13-to-1] ratio (the lower, the better).

In contrast, a typical modern PC / Laptop equipped with 4,096 Mbytes of RAM, and bursting at 80Mbytes/sec, equates to approx. [51.20-to-1] ratio (!!!)

Or put in other terms: the little Atari could fill all of incognito's available memory board in (roughly) 11.13 secs, whereas a modern PC would take 51.20 secs to fill its available ram with today's typical SATA drives' transfer rate.

It seems to me that gram-by-gram, byte-for-byte, the little Atari is working its ass off.

More incognito testing posted to the wrong thread..

[Mclaneinc]

I've skimmed through the thread and it looks amazing, another top quality bit of kit from Candle..

Do we know a cost for it and apart from needing an 800 which I have what else do I need to for this kit to be fully working out of the box?

I know, I'm skint but I can dream

If I win the lottery I'm buying Candle!!!

I'll rent him out to you lot for a price

Don't worry Candle, I have a lovely wife and daughter, your neither regions are safe!

I know what I paid for the prototype, and that was a great price. I don't want to comment on what Sebastianmay charge for the real thing.
You will need a soldering iron, 8 pieces of wire 2 resistors (unless the production boards differ) and a cf card.
About half an hour to fit

[Mclaneinc]

I soo want to do this to my 800, it sits there doing nothing because I use the XL for almost everything especially because of the compressed items needing the extra ram.

I'll await the official price

The soldering should be ok as its normal sized pads and components (no surface mount mini stuff

Never brought a CF card but I imagine they are nor that expensive..

Damn, I'm staring to get my hopes up

[Stormbringer]

I have been lurking here for quite some time but have not yet broke out one of my collected atari's. This will push me over the edge to take my late fathers origional xmas of 78/79 out of its hiding place and make it proud!
