- Sounds good to me. I guess some of the code would be usable on both platforms,
- but how will a 030 Amiga stand against a Falcon? They havn't got an DSP, but
- maybe they have some other chips which could do the job rather well. I think
- someone said that they could use one of the chips for texturemapping, but
- I'm not sure about this. An Amiga with a 040 would do the job rather nice I
- guess. :-)
-
- And as the Amiga lacks an DSP it would mean that they would need to start
- from scratch with the texturemapping part. I guess they can't use anything
- from the falcon version.
-
- Could actually be quiet interresting to see how the two computers perform.
- I guess a A1200 and a Falcon030 comes closest and a Falcon040 (AB040) would
- be about the same as an Amiga040. This would be nice as long as we can
- keep it at a "professional" level and not start to flame each others like in
- the old days and as long as the falcon version is faster.... :-))
-
- What about trying to get some other Ataris on as well? I'm thinking on the
- TT and the Hades/Medusa. Maybe it will be hard to find people using these
- computers to be interrested in the project?

- Well, it's better somone who know anything about the technical side writes it.
- You or Doug I guess.
