I'm back again with an extension on the '060 for the A1200 topic. I read a review in a Brit mag that the Cyberstorm '060 suffers from a lack of RAM caching and needs a patch program to redirect certain math functions to the software without flushing the chip's buffer. In other words, the '060 is not optimized yet in these things. In Video Toaster User, a review on Amiga accelerators says that even the touted Sonnet '040 doubler does not optimizea a big enough cache for the '040. What gives, will we, who are a long ways off from RISC, have to run a sports car on kerosine? LS
