In the 8-bit computers, the ANTIC chip is the proccessor
responsible for feeding the display chip all the info about the screen. It
was a true microproccesor in the fact that it even had instructions to do
things that were in memory. That was one of the nicest features of the
8-bits. It's a pity that some other similar custom hardware doesn't appear
for the ST, or some other vendor's computer. (I mean a computer that costs
less that $1000 now.)
Eric Hopper (Omnifarious) Don't try to send to emh@omni.uucp, because omni
is completely unkown to any system except stag.
