- What is happening with an OS to run on the 604? Accelerator cards for
- existing Amigas will be pointless if the OS and the programs don't
- quickly follow. Seems this will all hinge on AT. The question of
- 68xxx emulation on the 604 must also be answered.
-
- Now, has anyone heard more about the Q OS project? That would answer
- all of those questions.
