- : They write that the new A4000T with 68060 is a standard A4000T with a
- : 68060/50MHz CPU card which can be upgraded to 128 RAM with standard SIMMs.
- : Though the prototype cards shown at the AMIGA show in Paris does have a fast

-
- They still haven't learned IDE is crap ...

- :
- : Gilles Bourdin also revealed some infos about the new A1200+ called A1300!
- : It will be built into the same case as the A1200, but does have an EXTERNAL
- : IDE-AT connector. The motherboard houses a 68030 CPU and is expandable with
- : more RAM. It will available around March-April.

- EXTERNAL IDE?? Oh my GOD! Now you even can't use HD's any more, because they
- are practically built to be housed inside the computer... And what else
- is there to attach..? A CD-ROM. (That one already had to go outside, but
- ala). And a 68030. At 16 MHz? *Without* MMU? Undoubtedly...
-
- : The first PPC cards from PHASE 5 are being send to some selected developers.
- : The card for A3000/4000 will be available end summer 96 to all usres!
-
- First seeing, the believing.
-
- : The new gfx chipsets will include the possibility to use standard HD PC floppy
- : drives. (the mag says that these chips could well be in the new A1300, but
- : this is NOT confirmed!)
-
- Frankly, I am more interested in better graphics and sound than better compa-
- tibility for disk drives.

- But lets give AT the advantage of doubt.. Let's see how they perform in the
- rest of '96...
