FastROM is 3.58 MHz. It is about 33% faster than SlowROM. FastROM is a property of the ROM chip itself and not the board it is soldered onto.[2] When the 5A22 is operating at fastROM speed, there are 6 CPU machine cycles per master clock cycle.
FastROM speeds only apply to the upper halves of banks $80-bf and all of banks $c0-ff.[1]
The SAS cannot use FastROM.[3]
