- I suspect the situation is similar to when the A3000 first came out; the
- OS is quite finished (though certainly usable), but the hardware is ready
- to go. This is also perhaps the reason why the hypothetical '020 machine
- wasn't announced at WOC (lacking an MMU, it would need to have Kickstart
- in ROM).
-
- Kickstart 3.0 is almost certain to work in non-AGA Amiga's once it's
- completed. (Let's not forget the various postings over the last few
- months that said they were running pirate beta copies of KS 3.0; they
- can't _all_ have been bluffing, and they certainly didn't all have
- AGA machines :-)
