GOLDEN MEDIA SPARK - TRIPLEX

[ViP3R]

Just a short post to clear up the clock speed on the Golden Media Triplex.. I was wrong when I stated that the Golden Media Triplex had a 540MHz based CPU - Compared to only 450MHz on the A2!

I do Like to admit when I have made a mistake, but in my defense there were conflicting reports.

I have received an email from the Manufacturer ( Golden Media) clearing up any confusion.

The fact is that the Golden Media boasts a 600Mhz clock speed and this does explain why the blind scan is far superior in speed to it's little more expensive brother the A2..

There is also a new working Enigma 2 image for the Triplex that even A2 users can take advantage of, thanks to the Triplex Dev Team.

"Fulan" who codes and issues the software for Spark will be releasing a new file I'm told next week, The Golden Media Online Spark Service will have the latest software Update and also a nice update for users of the Golden Media Triplex here in North America!
