  • A celebration of the 68040 with one of my favourite chip from my collection

    Also, you may know: is the '040 actually internally clock-doubled? The M68040 User's Manual says that it is (or at least, requires its PCLK input to be 2x the BCLK frequency), Apple's '040-based Dev Notes say they are, but everybody else (from Everymac to people on the forum here) says it's untrue. Thoughts?

    The QFP version of the chip says 25/50Mhz or 33/66MHz on the package. Internally it is indeed clock doubled, but only specific portions of the design, so it's a stretch.
