CORE DESIGN - PRESS RELEASE
17th June 1999
NEW F-MAX PRODUCTS being evaluated!
DESTTINY
What is your destiny? If you own an Atari TT then it's unlimited! DesTTiny
allows Falcon expansion cards to be interfaced to the Atari TT. This
opens up several possibilities, including the chance to fit Eclipse and
Tempest!
PCI EXPANSION
Similar to DesTTiny except this board plugs into a standard PCI slot on PC,
Milan, Hades, etc., allowing standard Falcon expansion cards to be fitted.
Now Tempest is available to even more Atari users!
ECLIPSE NOW IN PRODUCTION
Reserve one now to avoid disappointment! Shipping with 4MB ATI RageII
graphic card. Multiple PCI expansion being evaluated!
Release Date: 30th June 1999
TEMPEST NEWS
PCBs are currently being finalised.
* 200MHz part will probably be fitted.
* Current estimate of speed indicate it will be equivalent to 50-66MHz
68060 when running the 68K emulation software.
We are currently evaluating;
* USB ports for multiple peripheral expansion
* Dual-processor support with the Falcon 68030.
- May also work with other accelerator cards, such as AB040!

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
TEMPEST: The FASTEST accelerator for the Falcon - NOTHING can compete
with this! A simple, inexpensive way to accelerate a _standard_ Falcon
to achieve amazing performance!
/// \\\
--- Now with the PowerPC (PPC) Processor ---
\\\ ///
This means Tempest could run with a staggering 266MHz processor! Due
to the lack of board space, the proposed AGP slot will not be fitted.
The current estimate of speed indicates Tempest will be equivalent to
a 50-66MHz 68060 when running the 68K emulation software.
Our web site now contains an FAQ section to answer your queries.
Currently being evaluated are the inclusion of;
* USB ports - multiple peripheral expansion!
* Dual-processor support with the Falcon 030!
- May also work with Afterburner040 - to be confirmed!
AVAILABILITY:
Not yet determined, but hopefully prototypes will be ready by Q2 1999.
