I got Toshiba to send me glossies on the chips. They do 20k gouraud-shaded tris a second, and I don't remember if they actually do 3d projection matmuls or not. Toshiba (San Jose) refused to send chip spec sheets, claiming that the chip was only for very high-volume customers who sent their engineers to Toshiba Chip U in Japan to learn how to design with the sucker. Sounded like a shuck but you never know... Lance Norskog
