- : you think AT is going to survive selling only original copies of AmigaOS to PC?

- probably not make billions...

- How about designing a multimedia PCI card for it too? (but not required)
- The card can integrate VIScorp vision of the next chipset, since
- they seem to be wanting to upgrade the chips to new levels.

- Now, if you have a PC and want to do video , you would run the amiga OS
- on your PC with this super duper multimedia video card and THE multimedia
- OS and software... now PC entousiast might find themself liking the amiga
- OS and maybe buy a copy for their home system and recommand it to friend not
- doing video work.
-
- But basicly what I want to say is, VIScorp + AT can really open a few
- market with the 'same' product. The walker will NOT attract anyone but
- die hard amiga fan or some developer, and I'm afraid poweramiga when they
- come out will suffer from run mostly non native code and be very
- expansive again beying only marketed to amiga die hard.
-
- Personaly I see GREAT potential in a portable OS + multimedia PCI
- card from VIScorp/AT. HW and OS can have a life of their own.
-
- I dont think the AOS taking over the PC, but my guess is if people
- run win95 & AOS they would buy AOS aplication VS win95 for the obvious
- reasons.
