As much I respect you, and especially for what you have done for me personally in the past, I have to say only one word
BOLLOCKS!
MY TT DOES HAVE A BLITTER CHIP
Ok, just on the massive off-chance that the Blitter chip in it, is not actually a blitter chip, this is what I have found.
If I take the "NOT A BLITTER CHIP" out of my TT, I can still run it perfectly fine, but I no longer get an option to switch on/off the "NOT A BLITTER CHIP".
If I put that NOT A BLITTER CHIP back in, I get the option back, and I also get the massive speed increases much the same as my STEs do!
------------
One thign I cannot possibly understand is that if the Falcon does have one, and the TT does not, then why does everythign I run, point the other way round?
Why is it that people say that the 030@16mhz is the same speed as using a blitter, and yet an 030@32mhz is so obviously benefitting massively from one.
Or does the TT have a software blitter? if so, then surely the Falcon could have one?
NVDI is such a massive boost to the TTs and STEs, and yet it does almost bugger-all for the Falcon.
Can anyone tell me a program that says whather they really do have a Blitter or not?
all the CPX modules I have say the TT has one, and the Falcon does not.
Also I keep hearing about 2 caches on the Falcon? explain, and how can I make sure they are on?
The TT only has the one as far as I know?
Maybe the Falcons blitter can be disabled rather than switched off, and mine is just that?
