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

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.

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

Too bad Atari marketing was so incompetent that nobody bought the Falcon before they pulled out of the computer market.
