I can't give any blitter specifics because I don't know any. Besides that, it is a custom VLSI part and some of its details are still subject to change. Please wait for an official Atari announcement -- I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. Mainly, though, it does most of what you would expect a blitter to do. I think it does almost everything you can do with the line-A blt, and more, but (of course) in hardware, not software. /----------------------------------------------\ | Opinions expressed above do not necessarily | -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. | reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. | ...lll-lcc!atari!apratt \----------------------------------------------/
