(48GX) SpeedUI 14.01 released:-)

[Raymond Del Tondo]

I mainly added RainEQ support because it is available as a standalone and self-contained version.

Rewriting the built-in EQW or even creating a new (and fast) EQW would take ages, and the EQW is not my main interest;-)

Covered ports on an HP 48G Series calc normally means any RAM card in physical port 2, which also means logical ports from 2 to 32.
A RAM card in port 1 is uncovered in most situations. RAM in port 0 can always be considered uncovered, unless the system uncovers the underlying ROM temporarily. However this is transparent to the user, so in normal situations, you'll never notice.

He said FRAM cards care much faster than SRAM cards (which need a battery), but that the 48GX will limit FRAM card speed. Even so, he said FRAM cards will be 20-30% faster than SRAM cards in the GX. As such, would there still be a slowdown when using an FRAM card and those "covered ports"?

AFAIK the limiting factor is the HP 48 hardware, so there should be nearly no performance difference between SRAM and FRAM from the HP 48 side.
But I'm not an expert on hardware, so topics on that level could be better answered by Christoph Giesselink.
