- No chance! Neither are there any conversions programs as the Amiga's custom
- chips would need to be emulated... It is possible to get a plain 68000 to
- Intel code converter or emulator, but this will probably not work with the
- Amiga most/all of the time. Anyone else know better/more?
-
- Want Video Toaster? Buy it for the PC, at 1/3 more costs than for Amiga! And
- you could argue it doesn`t work as well.... Can't confirm this as I've not
- seen running myself, on either platform :( .
-
- Buy an Amiga instead! :p
