-
- 'were'. C= had some plans, C= is gone! 90% of Amiga users playing
- games got AGA. I got to poke AGA registers for getting most ideal
- known conversion on AGA.
-
- Get real, not touching AGA will make a lot of games slower on
- 020 machines. This is a inaceptable thing.
- I guess the main market in near future is the new A1200,
- still conatinaing AGA afaik.
-
- Games also supporting a "touch AGA for display control" feature are ideal.

-
- I don't need it, because I got no questions about AGA. I got lot's of
- questions about OS-functions though (see: faked seglists a la rkm,
- won't work).
