In article <4378@utah-cs.UUCP> shebs@utah-cs.UUCP (Stanley Shebs) writes: >Is the blitter going to be invisible if you don't want to use it, so for >instance Sublogic's Flight Simulator won't run 5 times faster (can you >say "Cessna F-16"? :-) :-) ) I believe that the SubLogic people do everything via the 68000, and ignore any other hardware features. (For instance, they do not use the blitter on the Amiga.) This probably makes it easier for them to port it to all the 68000 machines, and this is probably why the user interface that comes with the Amiga and Atari versions are similar and does not follow the machine's own user-interface standards. (I'm not sure if this is correct at all, but this is what I heard from someone who was not sure himself...) Ali Ozer, ali@rocky.stanford.edu
