- If you get a copy of the latest Znet, there's an article from Jim
- Allen taken off GEnie that says basically that he's found a way to do
- it, but is trying to get info out of Atari, not always the easiest thing
- to do, about how the blitter lets the processoror know it's on the bus.
- I beleive he found a plug in to SMD adapter, but if the blitter doesn't
- communicate properly with the processor, it won't know when the cache
- data was invalidated or something like that. Sorry to be vague, but I'm
- not really a hardware type. Anyway, dig up Znet, and check out the
- letter.
- ZNet should be on a.a soon, I wouldn't bother looking for alt.znet,
- as from my readings in alt.config, I beleive all US gateways have it x'd
- out because of some misunderstandings on it's creation. It sure hasn't
- shown up here, and my feed creates every newgroup that comes through.
- Anyone in North America see an alt.znet group?
