Title: PowerPC DraCo?
Post by: Dagon on November 04, 2002, 03:56:10 AM

Could it be that next year appears something like PowerPC DraCo? A video editing Amiga version?!!!

From a very old interview (http://www.avioworx.com/archive/vision/sprave.html) of MacroSystems:

You know, the AmigaOS... translating it over to some other processor is really the biggest job. So, doing a PowerPC DraCo would not take a long time, only a few months. So, if we see that this is coming along, yes, there will be such a DraCo.[/i]


It would be cool to have an Amiga Cube :-D

years ago?
