Message-ID: Date: 26 Sep 90 22:17:03 GMT Organization: Class of '92, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 21 > Does the sega use a 68000? Yes, the main CPU is a 68000. There's also a Z80 put in there dedicated to the sound (makes real neat effects when the 68000 gets an interrupt for, say, a pause, and the Z80 misses it and keeps playing the sound...) The cart size is a maximum of 1 megabyte of ROM (Sega claims cart size is "8 MEG", but that's in megaBITS, not megaBYTES) and I believe the system has 64K of RAM for keeping score, etc. I'm not suprised to find out that there's a development package to write Genesis games on the Amiga--my version of Populous on the Genesis looks IDENTICAL to my brother's Amiga. And the Genesis prerelease for Zany Golf still had mouse prompts in it! Methinks a talk with Sega is in order... Finally a money-making use for my brother's Amiga! Did the ad give any details for minimum system configuration, etc? --Greg
