Any news on the v3? I would love to get my hands on a new Parceiro with acceleration :)

The V3 is a work-in-progress and a release not imminent. Lot's of mad scientist stuff going on. The V3 would incorporate a mild accelerator, inspired by the ICD AdSpeed.

Dunklee:
I'm finding that memory access and latency... even on the Parceiro is slowing the 28MHz down to an effective 16MHz or so. But it's progress.


He's also found new ways to significantly increase the SD card reads and writes. Without his accelerator, 525KB/s on SDWorkout. With the accelerator, more in the 1MB/s range!

It isn't clear as to when his experiments will convert to a "Gold Master" product. I'd guess 2023, but I really don't know. Very exciting stuff, though!

I believe he's also looking to add his parceiro max mem logic as well, so then you'd have ~16MB of RAM along with a 1-4x speed control (through software)

I'm trying to get him to add a clock port, even though it's a silly expansion bus :p

Clockport is nasty.

You can fry lots of devices. Easily. No warning. Directly getting magic smoke.

yeah, it was mostly a tongue in cheek discussion with him in order to on-board an a314 WiFi mechanism. He was like "clock port, I already have a real-time clock" :) And besides, if he eventually makes a v4 that has built-in WiFi, then a clock-port would be a waste of time.

BLAGH!!!!!!!!!

I just installed an '010 and the Parceiro II...

As I told David D - WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?

Used it for about a half an hour this evening (it got late), and oh man...

The man is a saint for this. A1000's everywhere NEED this upgrade!

Seriously - if you are on the fence about getting one of these things, DON'T BE. Get it while you can.

David is a STELLAR guy always willing to answer questions.
