TrakBox_Turbo version installation info.
========================================
Dallas semiconductor released 80C32 code compatible high speed CPU
DS80C320. This chip has upper compatible with Intel 8032/8052 series
CPU and three times faster with the same crystal. There are many other
additional functoins (two serial ports, watchdog timer, many interrupt
sources, high X-tal clock etc..), and now, TrakBox can work with this
CPU. The calclation speedup is 4 times faster than ordinary T_B.
You need (1) DS80C320 CPU, (2) 22.118400MHz X-tal (3) 320TRK EPROM
[Install]
1.At first, you must certificate your TrakBox is working with original
EPROM and CPU. (8031,32,51,52 CMOS or NMOS).
2.Off the battery back up jumper (JP13)
3.Replace the original CPU with DS80C320.
Check the T_B is running with new CPU. The speed up 1.5 or 2 times
faster than the original.
4.Replace the EPROM with Turbo EPROM (320_xxx.ROM).
Check the T_B can run with COM port baud rate 4800.
5.replace the original X-tal(11.0592MHz) with 22.1184MHz.
6.Now, Your TrakBox_Turbo is completed.
[Notice]
1) New CPU with 22Mhz clock rate needs high access time EPROM
and RAM. In my case, I used 120ns EPROM (Mitsubishi M5M27C512K-12)
and 80ns RAM (62256LP-8). If your T_B doesn't run, you may replace
with high speed EPROM(-12 means 120nSec access time).
Many beta tester reported that turbo code run with fast EPROM
and RAM from many supplyer.
2) One another solution to the higher access time problem,
replace the address latch IC(U1 74ALS373) to high speed IC(74F373)
most of all EPROMs are usable with this replacement.
3) Dallas Semiconductor released preliminaly DS80C320 chip and
the early lot has bugs in micro code. The present version
has xxxxA6-yyy on the lavel. If you have xxxxA3-yyy version, this
chip is not usable for TrakBox Turbo.
