I hooked up the other half of the RS-232 PC interface, and was able
to load and run software on my H8 and talk to it from the PC...
So, I decided to do a speed test, and the emulator comes out just a
bit faster than the actual H8.
I loaded BHBASIC and run a simple 1-10000 loop:
10 FOR I=1 TO 10000
20 NEXT I
In my real H8, I timed this at about 42 seconds.
On the emulator:
----------------
P3/733 takes less than one second (had to measure).
486/100 took about 7 seconds.
A 386/33 turned in a score of about 50 seconds.
So I think even the lowest end 486 (25) it would run
faster than real time.
When I get a chance, I will add the calibration routines
to control the CPU throttle to simulate real time performance
on all machines.
Regards,
Dave
