- Notice that I included "in a lot of fields". I have yet to see sprite
- manipulation as good as anything an ST or an Amiga can do on a 386, let
- alone a 486. No 386 sequencer (or 486) has been able to beat an ST one - The
- card (on a compatible) is merely for the MIDI ports. These very well do
- qualify as fields where the 68000 beats a 386.
