Well, I *was* actually thinking of suggesting something like the TI '5409
DSP 'cause it has this cool little "Host Processor Interface" and built-in
SRAM and all that... You can just hang it off a microprocessor as a
peripheral for some DSP-boost. Then I got to thinking that it's probably
$20 in small quantities and 100 TQFP so I scaled back to the little Scenix.
Still though, an Atari AVG with all the VROM area available as VRAM and
enough CPU to do fun complex math stuff (splines and curves and whatever)
would be a pretty good general purpose vector game platform for quite a
while. ;-)
