Re: Fwd: [p2k] Any interest remaining in a self-programming FLASH SIMM?

Btw, I just thought of something, if you're going to have a programmable logic chip for buffering the bus lines, and if there are blocks left, you could make a comparator that outputs a trigger every time the first word of a particular sample is accessed. That would be very useful for triggering a side-chain compressor effect, for instance. (since the trigger has no latency, compared to MIDI)

I mean gate the address strobe signal to a solder pad every time i.e. address 0x10000 is on A0-A24, then the user can put a bass drum sample starting at 0x10000. Or even better, have one at 0x10000, another trigger responding to 0x20000, a third one at 0x30000, etc.

This could also be used to interface analog gear via the triggers, perhaps expanding your market? You don't have to put the buffer chip on the card, just put the solder pads on the boards and anybody who's interested can solder the buffer chip themselves.
