- I know it doesnt work, I was told by a Commodore Executive at the
- last World of Commodore Amiga show in New York City, back in April93'
- that the A1300 will only work on the A1000. It wont work on any other
- amiga, He said that the video hardware in the A1000 was different than
- that in Later Amigas, just enough to make the A1300 incompatible with
- later machines. Something to do with Video timing... I'm not too
- technical so I just accepted his answer and played with the A4000's
- they had on display...
- Hope this answers your question,
