Electrical, Computer & Systems Engineering Lines: 17 Amiga World, Dec. 1989 In a full page ad from Digital Animation Productions: "Imagine being able to create the most powerful artwork on the Amiga. In 16 Million Colors. With Unlimited Resolution. Imagine 24-bit RAM animation, NTSC/PAL, RS178, Analog RGB/Composite video, 10 RISC MIPS/1.5/MFLOPS, 19 MB/S drawing speed, 8MB BLIT Operations. For more performance, the graphics board connects to our Transputer Processor Boards, each capable of a max performance of 120 RISC MIPS. Each transputer chip is capable of addressing four gigabytes of memory. Unlimited expandability." Ahhhh, eat your heart out Seymour Cray. This is a Boston-based company. I'll probably drop in for a demo in a few days and I'll report what I've seen. Stay tuned...
