Title: Nice surprise just arrived!

i've been wanting to do a XMOS project with my X5000 since i got the beta system some time ago (well, actually, since lyle did a 'xena' presentation at amiwest a couple of years ago), but hadn't really had a chance to play around with tools until recently. so i figured i might as well take the plunge and order a xorro card -- and it arrived today in the post.

a big thanks to matthew and amigakit (http://www.amigakit.us) for such quick shipping. oh, and for the little surprise that came with it. ;)

unfortunately the project i'm planning is for my office, so i don't know if i'll be able to get permission to show it to the public being used, but if so, i hope to have some pictures for amiwest. poor lyle is probably going to be inundated with questions this summer as i get up to speed on the (http://wiki.amigaos.net/amiga/autodocs/xenares.doc.txt) wiki (http://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/Writing_apps_for_Xena) docs (http://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/Xena_Resource).

Neat,
it's about time the possibilities of this co-processor were explored.
I discussed that chip with Paul Gentle before the X1000 was even announced.

Nice! I'd love to hear about your project should it be permissible.

I'd love to hear about any project utilising xorro.
