- Wht questions me is whether the 3000 will be able to get an AA chipset in
- there? Or will Amiga abandon the 3000 after trying to push so many to buy
- one? I hope Commodore gets hounded with this question (hint, hint) and
- the question is applicable to 2000/500/1000 users too..(Sorry, but
- I forgot to make the request a little general instead of specific to my
- questions..)...
-
- Also if the AA chipset WILL be available for other Amigas, how much?
- (NOW is the time to get Commodore's attention...)
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Jyanken
