- Are you trying to convince yorself not to buy a Falcon or what?
- A1200 more expandable than the falcon?
- Oh, well it has to be (though i doubt that it realy is), because it does NOT
- have SCSI II, 16 mips DSP, 8 channels of 16Bit/50Khz sound and bultin 16 bit
- stereo AD/DA, and is further crippled by a upper limit of only 2MB of
- videoram!
-
- The 'new' Amiga 1200 is O N L Y a souped up A600, whilst the Falcon 030
- is a totaly new concept in homecomputing!!!
-
- I like development of new abilities better than just speeding up old and
- well known abilities, howewer when both are combined, as in Falcon, i realy
- get enthusiastic!!
