- It's this kind of rear-thinking that's the reason Amigas haven't progressed
- much since 1985! Nobody who's in the computer market cares about how the
- Amiga stacked up in 1985, since it's 1996.
-
- :Besides, how many of those older Amigas are in use now ????
-
- If you mean A2000/500/3000, I'd wager quite a few. Nobody with an A3000
- would want to downgrade to a 4000 or a 1200. :)
-
- :If you want to make comparisons at LEAST compare 1992 AGA with 1996 SVGA
-
- And guess who wins out here? :) (Hence the rush of Amiga owners who want to
- use SVGA chipsets like those found in Picasso II and Cybervision 64)
-
- :Amiga Productivity mode (ECS) is 640x480 30khz (4 colours)
-
- And it bites under ECS.
-
- :If you have a A3000 (ECS) you get a flicker fixer so you get ALL
- :ECS/OCS resolutions at 30khz...
-
- No. You don't get Superhires promoted to 30 kHz properly.
