Hi there,

With the Amiga you can get clockport expanders (Quaddddroport I think) that will give you multiple clock ports.
Is such a thing possible for the clockport on the MMC64 ? Be nice to have a RR-Net and the MP3@64 plugged in at the same time.

Thanks!

Mark

Technically anything's possible ;-) ..practically though, now that's a different story.

The MMC64 clockport can be mapped to $de00 or $df20, but not both at the same time. Most RR-Net software uses $de00. I don't know about the MP3@64 software, but the hardware docu gives $de00 as example, so I'm guessing that most software uses that address space. What software is available for MP3@64 btw?

Hardware wise you could connect both to the same clock port and install a switch on the Chip Select pins for manual selection, but this might put too big a load on the Address/Databus as these seems to be directly connected to the C64 through the MMC64.

Ideally, you'd need to build a clock-port expansion board with bus-transievers for addr/data and some sort of logic for controlling the chipselect. ..not a trivial task I'm afraid.

It's an interresting thought actually... you could have RR-Net at $de00 and MP3@64 at $df20 and then switch back and forth to enable playing an MP3 stream over the network.
