- >1. How can I create CDXL files (without buying ADPro 2.5)
-
- Outside of being a developer (for C=), I doing think there are any
- programs to create CDXL files. Also- as a video format, it frankly
- sucks- as you might know it uses no compression, just takes images and
- mixes them with a sterio audio sample so that, with HAM you could get a
- 1/4 screen image moving at 10-15 FPS- fine when CDTV came out, but not
- much good in 1996. I'm really hoping AT will endorse some new format
- when the PowerAmiga comes out, i.e. QuickTime or include MPEG hardware.

- >surely it is suited for fast mathematical conversions ?
-
- I think there are several fast routines out there on the AmiNet, some
- use the math co-processors, I think, while others use the blitter and
- some just the 680xx.

- >post it !
-
- There are some offical looking specs on WWW.AMIGA.DE, from what I can tell, it will use a 68030 (or 680EC30), has 5-6 Megs, a 4XCROM=
- , HD disk-drive, hard-drive, detachable keyboard and is more expandable than the A1200 by way of a single slot in the center than is=
- designed to take Zorro, PCI, whatever- I think its some custom job that is open for 3rd parties to design their own stuff for. The=
- Case? well its rounded, strange...
