EDIT: Also I wonder if the combination of 68040/68881 is even allowed in Devpac, considering that the 68040 has a builtin FPU.

I've got a feeling that what czietz touched on here may cause some problems due to the 040 having a subset of, or emulating some 68881/2 commands.

Watch out!

Well, one thing to bare in mind , is the blitter "isn't" a video generator of any kind.. it doesn't really know anything of resolutions and colours.. its a device to basically shift and edit blocks of data to and from ram quickly... There may not be any other functions which could be added... Yeah,...

With such a coded core.. it is of course possible to add functions.. not sure what, that's up to the coders to think up what might be possible/useful.. From a games programming point of view and if it is at all possible perhaps the following... First, the awesome stuff that all great 2D graphics ch...

Also, the Mega ST has *slightly* different clock speed to the other ST's. And by the sound of it, noisier signals (blitter patch) compared to the others.

But, yeah, basically the same.

Yeah, but life's to short Not really worth the trouble...

Ok. Im having a major computer clearout which may well benefit some of the forum members here. There is a fair amount of stuff which I will try to list along with the condition and an idea of the working state. *** This post will be updated incrementally while I dredge through the stuff and add in t...

Oh well. Thats about it then. I did have a 5.25" NEC MFM drive, but thats in a Triangle turbo enclosure somewhere (unless I sold it and forgot! :lol: ). The rest of my drives are SCSI 2/3 3.5" and IDE. If its a case of not wanting to chuck the controller away, have you thought of perhaps re-housing ...

Ok. This is the drive I was looking for (sorry about the photo quality camera, as this camera from work is abysmal!) P1010002.jpg The drive is a 3.5" Lexikon HD352 20MB ST-506/412 HDD. Its about twice the height of a regular 3.5 IDE drive (of the ~250Mb-4TB era). Unfortunately, I cant find much info...

Well, you get my approval after our last correspondence!
