- If they [AT] are going to make a PPC Amiga, I'll bet they'll use
- off the shelf processors [for graphics], which are chunky.

- As the above, but I think 32 bit support is as relevant (for
- those alpha channel effects EVEN on workbench).

- To be PReP compliant one has to use PCI. The real fun is to see
- if drivers will function crossplatform (I don't know what PReP
- says about drivers). It won't be much fun if we have a PPC Amiga
- with PCI slots, which we only can use when we run Mac or Windows
- NT.

-
- No non-PPC after 1996, I hope. (At least not produced, that is.)

-
- SCSI-II (perhaps 3), AccessBus, 16 MB of Ram (high end),
- FlashRom with extra room for different OS's (PReP demand, in
- fact), 1 GB harddrive (minimum low end, 2 GB high end), Zip (low
- end) or Jaz (high end) drive, a CD-Rom (DVD on high end?)

-
- The above.
-

-
- As RTG, with audio RTG etc. See prev post by me.
-

- Needs abit of concideration.

- Agree on the above.
