| ... a marginal use of resources. Superior address decode fits on one 5cm*7cm perfboard. Asymmetric clock fits on the same perfboard. So, for a while, XR2600 Series is going to be a one circle, one rectangle implementation. Even if my work had no error, a board received in Jan 2022 would require bodging ... |

| ... If contiguous memory is unimportant, this arrangement is also compatible with the 74x157 hack to obtain fast 20 bit or 24 bit addressing. So far, XR2600 Series designs have been a tussle between speed, size and stability where everything lost. They have either: ⋅ Failed to allocate 48KB ... |

| ... scaled out. Likewise, it is highly re-assuring to know that it could be fitted in a RAM or ROM socket; such as the ROM socket of POC2.0 or XR2602. It is most re-assuring to know that the Commander X16's VERA is available as an alternative display system. |

On XR2602, all 10 vias are around the edge of the parallel buses. There are zero vias in the proximity of the serial buses. Furthermore, it is really easy ... |

XR2602 only latches four bits of address: A16-A19. I was overly concerned by this limitation. It is possible for firmware to detect 20 bit/24 bit address-space. ... |

| ... "any news is good news" strategy. Avoid incompetence and you'll avoid delay. All of this is annoying because I hoped to make the first XR2600 board with reliable components but I may have to substitute junk components. Either way, I will be keeping my options open by writing NMOS compatible ... |

This is very pleasing but quite impractical. With 0.1 inch grid, I was working on points basis where 20 pins ... |

The simplified XR2601 omits clock stretching, address latching and a second tier of (optionally chip stacked) 74HC138 address decode. Jumpers select one 4*8KB bank ... |
