Rumor Update
Exactly. I'm not a chip weanie. But I was full time on the project for
months, proding Xylinks (or however you spell it) emulations of the new
part finding compatibility flaws empirically through contrived tests and
running applications. The damn game programmers seem able to figure out
some way to use and/or depend on every last wierdness in the hardware, but
aren't smart enough to figure out how to take advantage of system routines
and to save orders of magnitude of excecution time through improved
algorithms rather than hardware banging.
