- You assume that OS4 will run on old Amigas.
- And you also assume that VMEM can replace real RAM.

-
- It won't be able to run CHRP-Software anyway... this is no PPC, right ?
- Do you want a PPC emulator ?

- The 3.3V parts are just EC.
- PGA parts are a bad choice for low price machines.
-
- In any case you should have read the Motorola price list to get an
- idea what extra cost a 040 would involve.

- Obviously there would be.

- If that $60 had anything to do with reality... maybe. But didn't you
- complain about the lack of an MMU ? Wouldn't people rather buy another
- 2MB RAM instead for those $60 ?
