PART 28 - Falcon ROM Wait States
Last updated August 9, 2018

A lot of Falcon's had slower ROM's meaning Atari had to use "wait states" in order to slow the ROM access speed down. You can however update the ROM with a "Fast ROM" as sold in my STORE and update the solder links on the falcon to use the faster ROM access speeds. This will give your machine a small speed boost! The image above shows the solder locations on U46 pads to enable zero wait states. Below is a benchmark of before and after the fast ROM is fitted.

The jumper speed settings I have found as stated below. Where 1 is soldered, and 0 is open. %= ROM speed test in GB5. 10010000 165%

A better benchmark using GB6..
