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

The DSP56001 processes the 44.1 kHz stream directly via the SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) without touching the 68030 host bus.
Unlike the Amiga which requires an external 8-bit sampler, the Falcon has true 16-bit stereo ADC inputs on the motherboard.

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.

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.

Atari Falcon vs Amiga 1200 flamewar in 3... 2... 1...
