I would be interested in hearing about the blitter as well.

Some points of interest would be :
	o What sort of operations can it perform on its source and 
	  destination?
	o What are the memory alignment restrictions if any?
	o How do the Blitter and 68000 share the bus? 
	o What are parameters available to the blitter?
	o What does a blitter bus cycle look like?

I think there is definitely an article possibility here that I would
think would be very fun/interesting to write. Any info appreciated,
pointers are ok too.
