- Doug did have one for a week, but he had to return it. :-(
- They are trying to get one to develop Apex on, but so far the manufacture
- of the card havn't said anything.
-
- Apex 3 is also getting late because BSS have had som _big_ shit comming
- on them from Atari them self. Not good for falcon users at all. :-(

- I think Doug is trying to make it work on 040 accelerators and the latest
- version does work on the Afterburner. But as he doesn't have one any more
- it might be to difficult to make it work on them. I don't know.

-
- I wouldn't say that it's 030 based anymore as the latest versions are using
- the DSP heavily. BTW. Doug have worked more on the texturemapping and now
- have lightning effects and z-shading (what ever that is). There is almost
- no drawing errors at all anymore either (better than PC Doom?).
-
- I think we can expect a new release soon. :-)
