Silly goose, you're here forever.

Anyone here know much about Intel i960? I've used a bunch of equipment built around that chip, most of which was an upgrade from the company's previous hardware platform of multiple z80-based uCs (Hitachi HD64180) and a TI TMS320C20.

Huh. With that target market it seems weird that it’d find its way into an entertainment lighting controller unless they were just really obsessed with having a single chip that could do everything instead of one or more general purpose CPUs and a DSP for fast 8/16-bit integer matrix multiplication.

The equipment by the way is later revisions of the ETC Expression/Insight/Express line of lighting consoles, as well as a bunch of the same company’s architectural lighting controls.

Finally, a true successor to the Quadra 840AV
