It wasn't my finding...I read it someplace online, back in '93 or '94. I'm pretty sure it was a 286 based PC, running DOS/Win3.1 at 20MHz. I know the Coco3 is 6809 (1.78MHz) based and running Nitros-9, but they may have been running a 6309 processor. The Coco outperformed the pc in pretty much everything but floating point, and it was close even there. Again...these weren't my results, but I knew a lot about the Coco 3 at the time, and I truly believed it could do what the article said... -Chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
