   3DO
  
      A set of specifications created and
      owned by the 3DO company, which is a partnership of seven
      different companies.   These specs are the blueprint for making
      a 3DO Interactive Multiplayer and are licensed to hardware and
      software producers.
  
      A 3DO system has an {ARM60} 32-bit {RISC} {CPU} and a graphics
      engine based around two custom designed graphics and animation
      processors.   It has 2 Megabytes of {DRAM}, 1 Megabyte of
      {VRAM}, and a double speed {CD-ROM} drive for main storage.
  
      The {Panasonic} 3DO system can run 3DO Interactive software,
      play audio CDs (including support for CD+G), view {Photo-CD}s,
      and will eventually be able to play {Video CD}s with a special
      add-on {MPEG}1 {full-motion video} cartridge.   Up to 8
      {controller}s can be {daisy-chain}ed on the system at once.   A
      keyboard, mouse, light gun, and other peripherals may also
      some day be hooked into the system, although they are not
      currently available (December 1993).   The 3DO can display
      {full-motion video}, fully {texture map}ped 3d landscapes,
      all in 24-bit colour.   {Sanyo} and {AT&T} will also release
      3DO systems.   Sanyo's in mid 1994 and AT&T in late 1994.
  
      There will be a 3DO add-on cartridge based on the {PowerPC} to
      enable the 3DO to compete with {Sony}'s {Playstation} console
      and {Sega}'s {Saturn} console, both of which have a higher
      specification than the original 3DO.   The add-on is commonly
      known as the M2 or Bulldog.   It should hit the shops by
      Christmas 1995 and will (allegedly) do a million flat shaded
      polygons per second.
