This information was disclosed in both public and private forums, and is not based on inferences or speculation. Your mileage may vary: o The Zorro III SCSI-II controller and documentation are complete. Product availability is slated for mid-January. Performance is estimated to be on the order of 10 MB/s with an appropriate drive. o The A4000 series DSP module is scheduled for release in the late spring, along with the corresponding 3.1 device support. It is a 32-bit AT&T chip, offering potential for items such as 16-bit CD quality sound, voice recognition, and high-speed modem support. o At least three additional A4000 series machines will be released in the next two months, including an EC030, 030 and tower model. The A4000T release in particular was mentioned in the context of mid-February. Other items of interest include quad-sync monitors, increased AGA chipset refresh rates, Workbench multimedia extensions, a third-party 386SX PCMCIA emulator developed in cooperation with CBM, ongoing development of full-motion video sofware and hardware solutions and negotiation with Kodak for Photo CD support. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CYa, Paul --- GCCed v4.0a 6 * Origin: GCC_Host 4.0 Test Site at Eindhoven NL (39:150/101.1@amiganet.ftn) SEEN-BY: 39/40 101/1 102/1 5 8 101 201 302 304 401 501 601 120/1 102 103 104 SEEN-BY: 140/1 150/1 101 102 191 201 151/1 152/101 153/1 154/101 155/1 157/1 SEEN-BY: 180/1
