- What is Commodore up to???
- There have been a lot of rumours about new Amiga models. One of them is a model
- called the Amiga 4000.
- What will it be like? Will it stand against the other brands?
-
- What I will write here from now on is NOT invented by me... It might b
- a bad joke from another person, but it's not likely, since the same information
- has come to me in many different ways...
-
- The Amiga 4000!
- This new computer will be a very upgraded version of the A3000. On the
- motherboard there will be found a 68040 processor, will a LOT of power.
- Various coprocessors will aid the CPU, among them the new blitter processor
- (3-4 times as fast as the one in the A500 and A3000 (Doesn't know the name))
- The Amber cip is installed in order to get a steady picture.
- A new chip called Lobster will replace the old music-chip. It has a capacity
- of producing 8 channels of 16-bit-sound.
- The AA- chipset will get you better graphics. 18-bit palette and a lot of new
- resolutions (for instance 320x200 256 colours and 1280x200 32 colours)
-
- How much of this is truth??? Any?? None? I neither hope nor believe that, but
- who knows??
- Hopefully Commodore will answer for themselves!!
- The Amiga is alive!! And it's good!
