A question about XENA/XMOS

[QuikSanz]

Xena may not be able to do those things but AFAIK it does have access to the cpu, along with the Xorro slot. You could possibly use Xena as a bridge to a Xorro card that does this.

Whats the point? Same reason as all the custom chips in the original, take a load off the CPU. with something like that you could run a heavy app, "Gimp" or such and still have an old good game running on another screen with little performance loss.

If done properly you could do it with JIT on OS4 with a proper display adapter.
a good FPGA would fit the bill well.
