Are the diodes really necessary to buffer the address signals for Banks A & B outputs from MDU.? My original notion was to simply short the two legs together, but I figured having chip driving signals shove back into outputs of an ASIC would probably be a BAD THING.

Is there a convenient little three SMT "nubbin" equivalent of the twisted pairs in the proposed the old school Diode Radio Antenna Farm illustration?

note: I know it's silly (at best) to obsess on getting this project to work, I've already got the Radius Rocket with its onboard compliment of 128MB of interleaved PC SIMMs hacked into the SuperIIsi™ but this proposition is just too delicious to ignore.

If I can get the IIsi to work with the Radius Color Pivot II/IIsi replacing Vampire Video and this hack implemented as planned, I might be able to overclock a IIsi to the point that it outperforms a IIci at its overclocked best. Dunno, but it's yet another fascinating evolution in "tilting at windmills" of the retro-computing world of Apple's hamstrung LEM lineup. [}:)] ]'>
