Just got my ATW800/2 up and running in my TT this weekend. I've been focused mostly on the graphical aspect of the card, but I'm feeling the need to for some transputer units and taking HeliOS for a spin!

Did an overview and intro to the project video along with some graphic testing and running basilisk....

Absolutely! That is the plan. This was just the intro and getting it set up.

I just watched the video. Thanks, super cool as always.

I've got the ATW800/2 in my Mega STe and so far, I'm loving
it.

Honestly, I also bought it more for the enhanced graphics
than the transputer angle. As things move along, I hope to
embrace that aspect more.

Looking forward to more of your video's covering this amazing
upgrade. :)

What can the ATW800/2 Transputer card do for a stock, 8mhz Atari Mega ST?

Well...this video answers the inevitable question, "But can it play DOOM?" :)

Just thinking about the possibilities of what can be done on the transputers is very exciting. They've got this Doom demo running on 1x transputer (the internal one) Just imagine what could be achieved with all 3x possible transputers populated on the card.
