Hail Marry time ...

Hi,

I can't even get TI to give me a copy of the instruction set reference
(spvu019). I haven't checked but don't see them releasing a
compiler???

Anyone know why a ~30 year old graphics processor architecture is such
a closely protected secret?

I have an EISA graphics card,a Mylex GXe020 that I would like to
tinker with. Can't do much of anything without the chip reference.

Thanks!
