- You know, I've been hungrily eating up all the info I can find on the
- Project Walker prototype, and it occured to me last night that this might
- be an even better thing than it seems at first.
-
- That quote about a Walker with a PPC card would basically be the same as
- the PowerAmiga has me wondering if we might be better off buying the
- Project Walker machine than the full PowerAmiga when it arrives?
-
- For those of us with an extensive AGA software library, the existence of
- the AGA chipset in the Walker would be a good fallback for compatibility.
- If the Project Walker machine's "Walker slot" can really handle a lot of
- expansion, and is as fast as the PowerAmiga's bus will be, then a person
- could upgrade a Walker to be everything that a PowerAmiga will be, and
- MORE. More, because it would have AGA to run old non-OS friendly software,
- whereas the PowerAmiga would not.
-
- The question is, will an expanded Project Walker machine be able to
- really match a PowerAmiga? And another good question would be, how much of
- the software in our libraries wouldn't run on an RTG OS?
