3105.0. "Apple re-eng. Amiga Blitter" by ASDS::WARD () Tue Nov 14 1989 14:46
COMPUTERWORLD (trends) November 6,1989
"The two amigos"
We hear Apple is busy ripping apart Amigas these days and
actually employs a number of original Amiga Developers. It seems
that Apple is particularly interested in Amiga's "Blitter," a
coprocessor used to process graphics, video and animamation.
Just the thing for multimedia applications. Apple is alleg-
edly developing a series of coprocessors, which will be used in
part to provide multitasking - all of which brings us to un-
confirmed reports that Apple is pressuring Motorola for either
custom versions or specific enhancements to the 68040 and 88000
chips, thus delaying both.
