- ------------------------------------------------
-
- Released at the Assembly 95 in 10-13. August 1995, Helsinki, Finland.
-
- This demo was never meant to be watched under 68030/25 based
- Amiga, it will be too slow under it. You can not expect 486/Pentium-
- performance from a 68020/14, but on a 68030 this demo is still
- enjoyable. The 3D stuff is quite complex, so it really needs
- CPU power. This is not much for a demo but this points
- that it is possible to do quite all that 3D crap on the
- Amiga, too.
-
- I am not 100% sure does this work without any FAST memory,
- since I did not have the chance to test it. I hope not,
- since it will be dead slow.. A1200/NOFAST is not really
- for objects with many thousand polygons..
-
- IMPORTANT: This production requires CrM.library, so please
- copy CrM.lib to libs:CrM.library!
-
- Demo should run OK from a floppy disk, too..

- HD INSTALLATION:
- ----------------
-
- 1. Copy CrM.lib to your LIBS:CrM.library
- 2. Copy "Miracles.#?" and "#?.dat" files to
- the directory you want
- 3. Run SetPatch
- 4. Run "Miracles.exe"
-
- NOTES:
- ------
-
- CACHES:
-
- Run this demo ALWAYS WITH ALL CACHES ENABLED. There is no need
- to disable caches, fastram or anything that makes your Amiga
- faster. Only poorly programmed demos require this. Use always
- SetPatch, especially 68040-users, since SetPatch enables copyback
- mode that gives the 68040 its speed. 68030-users could run
- SetPatch also, since it enables the data cache of the 68030.
-
- A4000/040 owners may test with or without copyback / datacache
- for best performance, because of crippled memory bus of
- the A4000/040. Try running the demo with these different
- setting (only on a A4000/040), then decide what gives
- the largest frame rate:
-
- 1) run "setpatch"
- 2) no "setpatch" at all
- 3) no "setpatch", just "CPU CACHE"
-
- GFX-BOARDS:
-
- "Miracles" should also run on a graphics boards with
- pass-through (like Piccolo, PicassoII, GVP EGS, CyberVision64 etc.)
- because it opens a native Amiga Intuition screen before the demo,
- so it forces your graphics board to Amiga output mode. (Thanks
- Peter McGavin!)

- DELPHINA DSP
-
- NEW DIMENSION IN AMIGA COMPUTING
-
-
- Delphina DSP gives your Amiga a whole new definition of power and sound.
- With its better-than-cd sound system engined by powerful general purpose DSP,
- you get the best quality audio performance. With its high speed serial and
- parallel interfaces, you get compatible I/O ports with minimum CPU usage.
- And with the included libraries and programming tools, you get full control
- over your sound, your effects, your I/O ports and your 40MHz Additional
- number crucher.
-
- The card has been specially designed for easy use as a general power machine
- for the Amiga. The memory system allows full speed Zorro II transfer to/from
- the the card memory, taking only 15% of DSP cycles at the transfer time.
- Data cab be transferred from the harddisk using DMA. The included libraries
- allow several DSP programs to run simultaneously as interrupts. Full mastership
- of the card is also possible.
-
