ALPHA CPU Quattro Board
Posted: Fri May 10, 2019 10:10 am
If you have been following exxos' threads on the H2 board and the ALPHA 16MHz Mode you will of noticed that a few boards have been springing up to help us do some testing for the H2 board.
The first of the boards is the ALPHA CPU Expansion board which will allow us to test 68000 DIL boards like the IDE DEV board, SEC 50MHz booster etc. on the ALPHA.

However there are more expansion components coming for the H2 such as the Fast RAM board

What this means is the H2 design has 4x expansion 68000 DIL headers as can be seen here:

So to help test this setup on the ALPHA we have come up with the ALPH CPU Quattro board which will plug into the ALPHA CPU Expansion board and give us the ability to plug all these expansion boards in to test how it will work for the H2.
And no if you plug 4x 68000's in the 4 sockets and plug it in it doesn't make a quad core ST
