- Well it IS an improvement (if you see, that up to now lowend system was A1200
- and (as low end is for games/demos) game/demo guys mostly coded for THIS
- outdated system.
-
- Now we got :
-
- 14 MHz 020 -> 40MHz 030
- no slots -> 2 slots (not one...)
- 2 MB Chip -> 1/2(???) Chip 4 MB Fast
- Custom chips in one Chip. Will make system cheaper.
- Harddrive and CD ROM Standard.
-
- This IS an improvement. Maybe not that much like we wanted, but we have to
- consider what is possible in some time.
-
- And :
-
- The Walker will be slot-expandable. It will be expandable to a Power Amiga.
- This way, it is fine, isn't it ? :)
