| AMD have just announced the release of a 1GHz Athlon CPU, and
| Intel are expected to announce a P3 at 1GHz very soon. If Rat thinks
| these monsters can't handle a well-written implementation of even
| R-Type Atrac what do you think is needed?
I did not say they could not handle it. The Motorola 6502 in an Apple ][+
could be used to implement ATRAC. The issue is whether or not desktop
machines now can do it in real time. You are not going to see Athlon in
*desktop* systems any time soon.
| Secondly I doubt we'll see Sony do a software ATRAC implementation
| of their algorithm as Sharp et al will probably reverse-engineer it
| for their chips, to solve their current ATRACs tendency to trash the
| sound into a load of snap, crackle and pops :-P
I've had exactly one problem with my 702, and that was due to a defective
original CD, not the recorder. So stop dissing Sharp, already.
