The Atari Falcon is the ultimate machine for decoding Project Stardust audio.

Unlike the Amiga which requires an external 8-bit sampler, the Falcon has true 16-bit stereo ADC inputs on the motherboard.
A 256-point complex FFT is computed every 10 milliseconds, displaying a live spectrogram on a standard VGA monitor.

Requires 4MB ST-RAM and an RGB or VGA monitor.

The SSI to DSP56001 architecture on the Falcon is magnificent. Zero CPU overhead during 50 kHz audio acquisition.
