@ -8,13 +8,12 @@ Commonly known as Tasc R30, it's basically a dedicated ChessMachine.
The King chess engines are also compatible with Tasc's The ChessMachine software
on PC, however the prototype Gideon 3.1(internally: 2.1, Rebel 2.01) is not.
WARNING: Don't configure more than 512KB RAM for R30 The King 2.50, it will still
be playable but will actually use less than 512KB RAM and become weaker.
The King 2.23 version was not sold to consumers. It has an opening book meant
for chesscomputer competitions.
For more information, see: http://chesseval.com/ChessEvalJournal/R30v223.htm
Gideon only uses 128KB program RAM, no matter the RAM configuration.
R30 hardware notes:
- ARM6 CPU(P60ARM/CG) @ 30MHz
- 256KB system ROM (2*27C010)

Documentation for the Toshiba chips is hard to find, but similar chips exist:
T7778 is equivalent to T6A39, T7900 is equivalent to T6A40.
EPROMs are interchangeable between R30 and R40, with some limitations with
The King 2.50 (see below).
Regarding RAM: The King 2.2x will work fine with RAM expanded up to 8MB.
The King 2.50 appears to be protected against RAM upgrades though, and will
limit itself to 128KB if it detects a non-default amount of RAM. Gideon doesn't
use RAM above 128KB either, perhaps the R30 prototype only had 128KB RAM.
EPROMs are interchangeable between R30 and R40.

sound pitch is correct now though
- does the R40 version have the same clock divider value?
BTANB:
- R40 calls itself "R30" on the system information screen (there is a photo of
an R40 that does say "R40", but it appears to be a modified ROM)
