Yep, but IIRC the SH4 is a RISC chip, and I've never seen POV running at 
any great speed on a RISC chip (Caveat: My experience of POV on RISC 
machines is limited to Acorn Archimedes systems  which compared *Very* 
poorly, even to my old 486DX2/66, and so may not apply to the SH4)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
