- Sure there are faster chips but there are a few things left which are
- not done by todays GXF-chips like Copper.
- If you ask a game programmer, he`ll tell you what`s possible with an
- Amiga with 68020...and impossible with fast PCs.
- Even the sound is much better then the wanna be 16bit cards, ok, there are
- even good ones for PC and Amiga, but we are talking about default hardware
- in every machine. It`s a pitty...10 years after A1000...;-(
-
- The 68k used every 3rd buscyle and it was very nice to put additionl
- "prozessors" into the other 2 cyles...that`s why you can play
- Pinball on an 68k and not less than 486...a shame.
-
- > *And* if that's the case, why are Amiga HD drives so slow? :)
- That`s something what`s a useless base of discussion, IMO.
- Even if a disk is 3 times faster than very slow, it stays extremly slow.
- Most people don`t use diskettes this time...no longer interesting.
