CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
1. The DIP switch S1 (4 & 5) is used to adjust the CPU clock frequency.
2.
The DIP switch S1 (1, 2, and 3) is used to set the Core/Bus (Fraction)
ratio of the CPU.
The actual core speed of
the CPU is the Host Clock
Frequency multiplied by the Core/Bus ratio.
For example:
If
CPU Clock
=
66MHz
Core/Bus ratio
=
3/2
then
CPU core speed
=
Host Clock x
Core/
Bus ratio
=
66MHz x 3/2
=
100MHz
