Anyone have one of these rare beasts?
Castle produced the Odyssey after Acorn closed. These have a 56 MHz CPU vs the stock 48 MHz, but Castle also claimed better video performance (similar modes to a 2 MB VRAM RiscPC). As it's the same basic design as the regular A7000+ I'm assuming this was achieved by running the memory faster but can't find any real information.
If anyone does have one of these (serial number will have ODY in it somewhere), would they mind running !SICK on it and/or taking a picture of the motherboard - specifically focusing on the three oscillators surrounding the ARM7500FE?
