The falcon030 is the new low-cost machine from Atari Corp. - it has a
16MHz 68030 and a 32MHz 56001 (with 32K of 24bit words), excellent (16bit)
sound, and graphics (VGA + 65000 colour True-Colour), all BUILT-IN.
Probably a cheaper platform for DSP development than any card for IBM's or
Apple Macs - the falcon030 is priced at $800 for the bare machine (no
harddrive, no monitor, only 1 megabyte - add any SCSI drive, or 2.5" IDE drive,
and any VGA/SVGA monitor).
It looks like DSP is finally coming to home computers (NeXT already have
them, but they're STILL out of my price range). I hear the latest Amiga
also has DSP. Now we might start seeing home applications - who'd bother
in the past when machines did not come standard with DSP.
