Pegasos II price! : Comment 83 of 154 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Casey R Williams on 05-Jun-2003 01:44 GMT | In reply to Comment 30 (Graham): "However the hardware was pretty good - 2 25MHz 32/64 bit RISC processors that could retire 1 instruction per clock each for example ... a programmable display processor, etc. Shame about the 68000 in there, however it was usually ignored because it simply couldn't match the other processing resources available."
Not the way I remember it. As I recall, there were a couple of glaring bugs in the chips that Atari had let through. There were workarounds, but some things were meant to be easier than they actually ended up being. Including the 68000 certainly was the fatal mistake Atari made. Doubting the developers' ability to learn the new custom chips (and the workarounds for their bugs), the 68000 was added to get ST/Genesis/Amiga coders up to speed quickly. Sadly many games ended up being simple ports from other 68k platforms rather than original titles which would likely have exploited the cooler features of the hw design. But then again, could Atari have possibly gotten it right? |
