Note: Burst Mode will only function properly when there are an even number of SIMMS

T-REX II Support Site

Zorro II Memory Note: It has been discovered with extensive testing that allowing any 68040 or a 68060 to run 'burst' cycles against Zorro II 16-bit 7MHz memory is an inefficient activity.  Most 16-bit Memory in fast systems like this is relegated to last-resort use and I/O buffering activity (for 24-bit DMA controlers like the A2091 and GVP Series II SCSI controllers).  Use of the MuTools mmu.library, and using MuSetCacheMode (or the mmu-configuration file) to render any 16-bit memory in the system as NoCache will prevent burst cycles, and improve performance.  If the 16-bit memory is already only used for 24-bit DMA buffering, the cache has no benefit in any case.  The latest MuTools release (Q1 2021) also attempts to identify these situations and prevent caching to Z2 16-bit RAM.
