- Is there any possibility to make a 3D0 M2 card to extend the coming PowerAmigas? They
- both runs on PPC-CPU's and are using a rather similar architecture. The M2 uses 24bit
- gfx as the P-Amiga will, The M2 uses 16bit sound as the P-Amiga will.. The only thing
- left out is the co-processors - And there are a lot.. But if someone WOULD make a
- card like this, the P-Amiga would have a great gamesplatform from the beginning, and
- the co-processors can be VERY helpful in 3D-programs or multimedia apps (It supports
- realtime MPEG-1 for an example).. Just some thoughts, but they would KILL if they
- became reality!
