Talk:Ensoniq EPS

Threw out the part about "update to Mirage", cause the EPS is a completely different architecture (68k as a main processor, DOC-II as soundchip) than the Mirage (6809 as processor, DOC as soundchip, analog postprocessing).

Corrected the part about dual processors. The EPS uses a single processor (68k), not two processors. It however features the DMAC for fast data transfers and a dedicated a bus arbiter that allowed mutual access to sample RAM, and of course the DOC-II sound chip that could handle sample playback by itself (unlike in the Mirage, where the CPU was burdened with sound-chip interrupts to achieve any-sized waveform looping). That in combination allowed load-while-play.
