- Why not? They face a problem of not being able to use high density drives
- in A4000ts and want a "plus" version of their A1200.. what would solve
- the problem better then working on a new Paula chip only for the past few
- months which will enable 16 bit audio and the the transfer rates to use a
- HD floppy drive standard? They then could ship new A4000ts with off the
- shelf HD drives along with A1200+s if they wish and all old Amigas could
- upgrade their Paulas also generating more income. Don't forget these
- machines are not being revealed until March and released afterwards, that
- is still two to three months to finish the chip, test it and mass produce
- it. They can then spend the rest of the year working on/finishing off
- the new graphic chips which I am sure they are working on now also and
- won't have to worry about the Paula chip, this will also be included on
- the new Power Amiga also.
-
- Also don't forget in an interview at a press/developers conference a long
- time ago it came from one of the higher ups that a new model will be
- released in March with improved sound and graphics.. people seem to have
- forgotten that!

- Especially from an A1000.
