Let me show you the successful launch of this board with 1Mb cache. It took about a month to solve this problem because I couldn't find any technical documentation for this board. Please do not ask about the nuances of the modification yet, I need to test everything.

If it is Vintage and not broken, do not fix it ;p
You do know that there is a less than 5% improvement in 1Mb over 512k cache.

Bit more if -4 means 4ns... the bus speed might go higher.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

That indeed is 4ns cache
