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.

- ARM6 CPU(P60ARM/CG) @ 30MHz

|

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.

sound pitch is correct now though

- does the R40 version have the same clock divider value?

- 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)
