Real-time spectral waterfall and DBPSK demodulator for TOS 4.04.

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.

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

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
