"There is [sic] also a number of library functions (not objects) that
allow you to tap into the processing capabilities of the DSP. These
libraries provide some 50 functions for performing tasks like fast
Fourier transforms, and spectral filtering."

BYTE claims the primary compiler is the GNU-C compiler, with the GNU
debugger and Emacs, plus Objective-C 4.0, (in which widgets like
buttons, scroll bars, etc are "objects" and can be treated as such),
and an "Interface Builder" that's kind of like programming hypertalk
only it generates full blown programs, not hyperstacks.

None. Average seek time = 96 ms.
