- The thing that realy impressed my about this Mac-clone was that the
- system seems to be capable to use multi-processors with a "normal
- Mac-Os".
- If these people were capable to enhance the existing Mac-Os to use
- multi-processors, then I see no reason why a completly new version of
- Workbench could not be able to do this.
-
- okay, before I leave , just think ,a Amiga with 4 or so 604 PPC at 133
- Mhz, does that sound nice or what ;-)
