Does anybody have any information about the Blitter (registers, hog mode, benchmarks, etc.)? I haven't seen anything and am curious. Maybe someone at Atari (APRATT?) can post something? Thanks. /--------------------------------------------------------\ |You say the hill's too steep to climb...Try climbing... | \----------------------------------------------Pink Floyd/ |

I've about quit expecting it myself :-) ! -- Bob Rogers rogers@StPaul.NCR.COM NCR Comten, St. Paul, MN

I haven't seen anything and am curious. Maybe someone >at Atari (APRATT?) can post something? As a developer, I've received two documents about the blitter, one about "programming" it, and the other is a general purpose document describing the chip and how it works. I'm not sure of the legality of posting these, but if Allan Pratt or Roy Good (people at Atari, in any case) do not object, then I'll go ahead and post them. I'm afraid I would not have the time to email them to individual people, though, unless the demand was very low. - Warner Young c162-br@zooey.Berkeley.EDU
