- It's about time!!!!
- The fact of the matter is that those games and demos are going to break.
- Unless the PowerAmiga has a Paula and a low density floppy drive, they will
- break on the PowerAmiga. Wouldn't that be a joke, a new PowerPC computer with
- a 10 year old floppy controller? Besides, those games likely wouldn't work on
- the 680x0 emulation, anyway.
- So why can't the break come with the Walker? Perhaps that will mean more
- OS friendly games, which install on the hard drive, and will survive the
- transition to PowerPC? Well, one can hope....
