I have an Oric-1/Atmos configuration, with a Cumulus peripheral, so I have another architecture example of this kind of things. The Oric-1/Atmos is a very small, underpowered little machine from 1982, using a 6502 CPU with 48k of RAM and little else. It wasn't a super successful machine, but yet .. it lives on. (8-bit revival is awesome, btw!) The Cumulus is a PIC-based peripheral which emulates the Atmos' disk systems - which were extremely difficult to get, if you were an Oric user back in the day (I was) - and as a result of modern hackers keeping the 8bit spirit alive, we have had "SSD on Ancient Computer (LOL)" for some years now. This is a machine with, at most, 48k of RAM. Attached to a machine more than 8x more powerful than itself, which function is simply to emulate a very archaic storage system. This storage system provides the little 48K CPU running at 1MHZ with 16 GIGABYTES of storage. The problem is neither that there are bottlenecks, nor limits to storage, any more. The problem is, as it has always been, what the hell to do with it, and .. well the answer is, keep running the machines, and keep writing software for it: http://oric.org/software/ http://oric.org/software/ See also, this: http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1273 http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1273 EDIT: The wonderful Cumulus: https://retromaster.wordpress.com/cumulus/ https://retromaster.wordpress.com/cumulus/
