Very interesting indeed. Might not be revolutionary but for all the old Amiga enthusiasts it appears to be staying true to its roots.

From the article: "The uses are endless; control hardware, DSP functions, robotics, display - even SID chip and console emulators."

Its not really aimed at the end user but more industry uses.

Wow, thats a blast from the past!

I used to play on my cousins Amiga PC, loved it so much I bought the console (yeah, it was me) when it came out. I remember the monthly mag (disc) with a video of some guy always harping on about how the future was bright o.O

400MIPs is just for the coprocessor!
