- >What about the home/small business segment. Do they have to buy IBMs? :)
-
- The home/small business people buying IBMs and SoundBlasters are stuck
- with limited 8bit sound.
-
- So are we.
-
- Any add in card that can be designed for an Amiga can be designed (actually
- probably has been designed) for a PC. There are already cards available
- for PCs with DSPs on them, and there are several flavors to pick from.
-
- The nice thing about the Amiga to date has been the native audio capability
- on the motherboard. Everybody gets it, it's all the same, so all the
- application s/w can use it. If the scheme changes to who's audio card
- are you going to plug in (don't think there won't be competition), then
- we get back to compatibility problems, etc., etc., etc., which won't be
- any different than the PC market.
