- TI have some _sppeeedddyyy_ DSP's. Here at work we use several of their models.
- A little strange though to use TI's then the falcon have got a DSP56001. Should be
- easier to use 5600x as that is what falcon progammers are used too and for
- compatibility reasons. Anyway a falcon with this thingy will be _SPPEEDDYY_ and
- with a Afterburner (the best thing would be to stick this card directly on the
- Afterburner giving a fast 32-bit bus!!) it will go into warp speed.
-
- And you are sure it was for the falcon?
-
- What about the Centurbo 2??
