Internal
The HD24 operates on a Nucleus embedded real-time operating system, running on a Motorola MCF5206 EFT54 processor, which combines a Coldfire processor core with several peripheral functions such as a DRAM controller, timers, parallel and serial interfaces.
A 26-pin port on the mainboard labelled 'Motorola BDM Port' permits background debugging using a Background Debug Mode interface adaptor.
There are two IC41LV16256 chips in the HD24: according to the data sheets, they are 256kx16 bit Dynamic RAM with EDO page mode, giving the HD24 a total of 1 megabyte of RAM.
The Ethernet chip is a CrystalLan CS8900A-CQ3, a 10BASE-T LAN chip.
For recording, the original HD24 uses 12 stereo Wavefront AL1101G A/D converters, and for playback it uses 12 stereo AL1201G D/A converters. The HD24XR model uses the higher-quality AKM 5393 A/D and AKM 4393 D/A converters.
The HD24 is equipped with an Analog Devices ADSP 21065L KS-264 digital signal processor. There is an ALTERA ACEX EP1K30QC208-2 FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) in there as well.
The HD24 little remote control (LRC) is almost identical to older ADAT LRC's. The buttons are labeled differently, but internally the remote controls are identical: a simple resistor network.

Famous quotes containing the word internal:
“Well designed, fully functional infant. Provides someone to live for as well as another mouth to feed. Produces cooing, gurgling and other adorable sounds. May cause similar behavior in nearby adults. Cries when hungry, sleepy or just because. Hand Wash with warm water and mild soap, then pat dry with soft cloth and talc. Internal mechanisms are self-cleaning... Two Genders: Male. Female. Five Colors: White. Black. Yellow. Red. Camouflage.”
—Alfred Gingold, U.S. humorist. Items From Our Catalogue, “Baby,” Avon Books (1982)
“Personal change, growth, development, identity formation—these tasks that once were thought to belong to childhood and adolescence alone now are recognized as part of adult life as well. Gone is the belief that adulthood is, or ought to be, a time of internal peace and comfort, that growing pains belong only to the young; gone the belief that these are marker events—a job, a mate, a child—through which we will pass into a life of relative ease.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
“If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
