- The following is the spec for the ideal & most possible Amiga IMHO, It could be
- better but would then cost too much, (VisCorp take note)
-
- Cpu:
- ----
- PPC 604+ with the capabilty of multiple processors or different types
- ie. DEC Alpha
-
- Graphics:
- ---------
- 2->24 bit graphics using a hybrid of Planar/Chunky modes
-
- 800x600 miniumum resolution
-
- 1280x1024+ maximum
-
- 64bit blitter(s)
-
- some form of 3D effects for game/video use
-
- Fully or partially built in MPEG video or better system.
-
- Fade between multiple screens (not essential but nice)
-
- Sound:
- ------
- 16 bit multichannel sound with DSP for signal processing/effects etc..
-
- fully positionable channels
-
- digital in/out or sockets for such a card
-
- General hardware:
- -----------------
- Flicker fixer
-
- Midi interface
-
- SCSI-2/E-IDE interface
-
- Zorro 3+/PCI
-
- Multiple parallel/serial ports
-
- Other things I'd like but would cost too much:
- ----------------------------------------------
- Solid State storage, ie. non volatile ram disk
-
- Full speed C64 Emulation, viva la SID :-)
-
- 3D Operating system, Zooming drawers, Windows etc.
-
- Full speed PC/Mac emulation
-
- Multiple mouse pointer system, so you can use 2 mice, one in each port.
- (although I'm sure a hack could be done for this now)
-
- Voice operated Workbench for Disabled users (or just lazy users like me)
-
- Integrated upgradeable modem/fax
-
- realtime raytracing
-
-
- that's about it.. don't want much do I?
-
- cheers for watching....
-
- Gi.
