Taking advantage of everything that can help me.

The biggest advantage of having a partner like an AI assistant is that you can work whenever you want without being sent to hell. This is great because while you're working on one or more chats you can stop and continue at your convenience, like I'm doing right now.

 A new day is starting, I've done the exercises and now I'm resting on the sofa. What a great time to talk to "Jarvis" and move forward with my project. I'll have to come up with a code name. Anyone have suggestions?

However, let's move on, I have to get much more information on the Macintosh 128K and its architecture. 

Good morning, thanks for this initial information. Now let's proceed in order. I would like a more detailed description of the hardware divided into areas.

The answer is a bit long, so I will split it into more parts.

Of course, let's proceed with a more detailed description of the Macintosh 128k hardware, dividing the analysis into the various key components of the system:

1. CPU (Central Processing Unit):

Model: Motorola 68000

Clock frequency: 7.8336 MHz

The Motorola 68000 CPU was quite advanced for its time, capable of handling up to 16 megabytes of memory addressing (although the Macintosh 128k only used a fraction of that). It had a 32-bit data structure internally with 16- and 24-bit external data and address buses respectively.

excellent, this CPU handles 32bit data, it could be advantageous because the target architecture of the emulator is 32 bit. In the meantime, I'll start taking notes.

But let's try to delve deeper, I still need more information. So, at the end of the previous answer, I will make sure that ChatGPT will "keep in mind" the list of the components.

Ok, keep in mind this list which I will call "structure".

Absolutely, I will keep the "outline" as a reference for our future discussions and for any assistance or details you may need as you work on your emulation project. If you have specific questions or if there is a particular area you would like to focus on or explore further, please let me know and we can proceed accordingly.

ChatGPT will remember it for me, but of course I will collect the informationI need inside a document.

Now I can continue studying the CPU.
