- Tell me about it. I have my expanded A1200, and a DX2-66. I can't really compare
- them, I spend all my time fiddling with the PC just to get it to work smoothly
- (I now know it's impossible). Even installing games is hell on a PC, setting up
- the sound IRQ's and DMA's (was that right?). The hardest thing you have to do on
- a Amiga is "copy df0:#? games:" a couple of times.....
