- The WHT SCSI host adaptor is out, but without a DSR right now. Several of the
- units have sold in spite of the lack of a SCSI DSR. I am the person who has
- been drafted to write the SCSI DSR, and it will be done as soon as possible.
- The WHT 4A Memex card should be in production before the end of the year. It
- will have a DSR, though programmers could use the memory on the card without
- the DSR. Again, I've been chosen to write its DSR. I was involved in the
- design of both the SCSI and 4A Memex, and several of the hardware design
- decisions were based on my knowledge of how to best implement software. Few
- companies who have produced hardware for the TI seem to have looked at it from
- a software perspective. Software development is faster when the hardware is
- designed to take advantage of the the best hardware- and software-interfacing
- techniques.
-
- Another product released through WHT is the Turbo Video PAL for the Geneve.
- This cuts video wait states, which speeds graphic access. Programs that are
- constantly doing graphics will run noticably faster. Of course, the speed
- improvement is directly related to the amount of time an application spends
- communicating with the video display processor. I designed the Turbo Video
- PAL.
-
- As for MIDI Master 99, I think version 3.0g (for the Geneve) is ready. I am
- not sure, though.
