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
