- Well, I didn't misread it. He said you can't do it "with" ECS chips, not
- "through" the ECS chips. Minor technicality, yes, but then computers are
- technical equipment. :-) IOW, the Picasso works "with" (eg; alongside)
- the ECS chips.
-
- It's not really that big of a deal. I've just heard from too
- many people that I "need" AGA. One friend even suggested I trade my A3000
- for an A1200. Yeah, I'm so sure. Then I'd have a ton of peripherals I
- couldn't plug into an A1200 without some expensive expansion.

- >"The Chink" is right in saying that there's no way. However, a "SoftAGA"
-
- He would have been if he had said "through" or "using" the ECS chips.
- Well, go ahead and call me a nit-picker, I won't deny it....or mind it. :)
