-
- No, of course not.That`s not the point I`m refering to.
-
- I`m just claiming, that datacache is just a very little advantage when doing
- C2P.
-
- On the other hand, Akiko isn`t as fast as it could be. If Akiko was
- accessable like a common Z3-Ram, this discussion was unnecessary.
-
- The best way might be the option for custom C2P-routines, so everyone can
- find out, what`s best. (GloomDeluxe has this option.)
-
-
- An other point might be the idea of using specific gfx-card`s hardware to do
- C2P. Some boards own real fast blitters, which can be used to do the C2P
- withing the IO-area of the gfx-card.
