Because the MC88916DW
80 was mentioned by Kay, I should remind everyone that on my
LC575 board, I have the slower MC88916DW
55 chip. You can see that chip in
this section of my Part I video. But despite that slower DW55 chip, I have broken the 50MHz barrier with Kay's new 2-chip VRAM. There's something so awesome about that, I really can't explain it in words. I am extremely grateful to the brilliant people who made this possible. It's incredible.
Next...
Only very rarely do I get Bus errors at 50.
1MHz (in System 7.1), but I get them frequently at 50.
5MHz and higher. What I do NOT know is if the
Bus errors at 50.
5MHz and higher are related to my having the slower DW
55 chip. We need a larger pool of Mystic owners overclocking beyond 50MHz to know for sure, since I don't have time to swap my DW55 for a faster DW80 and test right now.
Lastly...
My
Spicy Part II video is now in final editing and
hopefully can be uploaded this weekend. Even after a lot of editing, it has still turned out to be 1 hour 10 minutes long. That's why I'm deciding if I want to cut out some of my game testing (which nicely demonstrates performance at a given clock speed) or just leave it all in (with my commentary, of course). Some people hate long videos, but I really do try to stay on point and provide useful information throughout the video. I don't talk about off-topic things like what I had for breakfast.
I will give Kay and Paypal supporters a preview of my new Spicy Part II video before it goes public, hopefully this weekend. If someone finds a problem, then I may need to edit and export again for a lovely 6.5 hours, and then re-upload. That "bug fix" process often delays the official release of my videos.
I need a faster modern Mac! Don't we all? But when it comes to a faster Color Classic Mystic, Spicy O'Clock and that new low latency VRAM certainly delivers!
