@RoonDawg4, Correct. SAVO XL comes with a SCART cable, but it is also possible to use Sega Saturn to s-video/CVBS cable. SCART can be used with most upscalers available on the market. If you are ordering SAVO XL, you can write to me and ask to send an S-video/CVBS cable instead of a SCART cable.
How the hell...? The IIGS uses the same processor, I should see if someone that works on those can get 40mhz and really make Steve Jobs spin in his grave (as the story goes, he gimped that computer so that the Mac wouldn't look slow.
Rapidus is equipped with two 6502C processors, a 65C816@20Mhz, and an FPGA, which manages the operation of the whole system. Of course, this includes Flash, RAM, FAST RAM, etc. In connection with the tests I am conducting, which concern the stability of the Atari with various extensions, I received from the author of Rapidus an experimental FPGA core, which disables the 65C816 processor and activates its implementation in the FPGA, which operates at almost 40Mhz on this setup. Currently, only 3-4 people have such a core. It is not distributed or sold due to possible IP infringements belonging to WDC. Its current application is in laboratory tests.
So you can get rid of Freddie with Lotharek's 64K? I did not know that. With 4 contacts from the Freddie socket to... VBXE? You're also using the outer pins on J6 and I was instructed to use the left 2. Interesting...
If you have SRAM that doesn't need refreshing and a VBXE that generates 14MHz, but also 3.5MHz, Freddie is not needed. However, what is needed is a small modification regarding the EXTSEL signal. In the XEGS, +5V is supplied to pin #3 of Freddie. It should be supplied through a 3K resistor, as in other Ataris. I cut the trace and soldered a small 3k resistor (SMD 0402) into the trace, about half the size of a solder pad. This ensures correct supply of this signal to other devices (SRAM, VBXE) on the board. On Facebook in the "Atari8bit Upgrades & Repair" group, you can find a photo from last week of such a mod. Unfortunately, such an operation requires precision, and personally, I used a microscope to do it.
