- It's the software that makes the system, get used to that.
- Making a new GFX set for the Amiga will cost AT a huge amount
- of money (I think they don't have that) and when it's finished
- you have an advantage of what? three month?
-
- My opinion: the next Amiga must be a CHRP box so I can plug in a CHEAP
- GFX card in it a fast SCSI controller and use the amiga side for the
- fun part of computing and OS/2 for my development work. All on one box
-
- How many person do you think will buy a new hardware platform which
- is incompatible with the rest? I don't mind if AT puts some extra
- Amiga-only stuff on the board as long as the whole thing is a CHRP
- board.
