Amiga Double Scan need Info

Hi All

I would like to understand why with double scan paula and disk driver can double their rate. Can this works even for the blitter anc copper? Could they be faster?

Thanks
Sandro

"Disk driver" to the best of my knowledge can't double its "rate," that is why the HD FDDs spin at half speed.

Sadly i must say - no - it works only for Audio but not for FDD (bitrate for FDD is fixed and can't be increased without adding new features/improving Paula).
