- Basically, the DSP makes the machine. If programs are written right, the
- '030 should basically only be used for the interface. The DSP provides so
- much extra power it would be rediculous not to put it to use. Also, it
- will be easy to hook up an external floppy via the SCSI2 port.
-
- Just out of curiosity... how much does the fact that the Falcon has a
- 68030 at 16 MHz instead of a 68EC020 at 14.? MHz counter the fact that the
- 1200 has a 32 bit bus instead of 16/24?
