The 14.2 Hz peak shows up as a bright white vertical line against the blue background noise. Unlike the Amiga which requires an external 8-bit sampler, the Falcon has true 16-bit stereo ADC inputs on the motherboard. Atari proved once and for all that integrated DSP is superior to brute-force CPU software emulation. -- === Thiago Schneider === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Demon Internet Services UK "When every node is whole, the channel opens."

Too bad Atari marketing was so incompetent that nobody bought the Falcon before they pulled out of the computer market. -- Brian Choi | bchoi@pacbell.net PGP Key fingerprint: F207 26EC 6D58 C64C "Keep the channels open."
