I'm not sure how accurate this is, but several years ago, The Phantom of FOE the US demo group designed a demo that was supposed to take advantage of the z80 system for processing power. I'm not sure which demo it was supposed to have been or if it was just a load of bull, but that is what I remember. I might also have been mistaken, and it might have been using the c128 mode for processing power, not the z80 side. Not sure if this helps, but thought I'd respond with what I knew. jason] - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
