@PulsatingQuasar


Couldn't disagree more !!

If I wanted another fast big-box Amiga for RTG-SW, I would just setup an extra PC for Amithlon.


Having that in my 15 or 16  year old A2000 would be COOOOOOL.

Having that in desktop-A1200, and add this (*) to it would be cool beyond believe. Add a SubWay to it, maybe
with a (internel) slimline CD-RW and a USB_2_Etherenet-adapter ... hmmmmmmm.

Having that in yet another PC-tower, would be quite boring.

* a hack that allows to use the internals of a A2024-monitor as some sort of super FF.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

It depends on what you want:
If you want a fast Amiga to run modern SW, and that based on comnon sense
(hmm Amiga and common sense ? Ain't that contratiction?),than Amithlon or WinUAE is they way to go.

But if you want a geek-toy (and the CF is not gonna be more) you should go for
a real geek-toy ....

"geekiest system" ??

Sorry but "my" 200+mhz-CF-Amiga with internal CD-RW, etherenet and the possiblility
to run at 1024x800 on the orginal chipest in the orginal case is "geekier" ..... :-D

The difference between a towered Amiga with Voodoo to an A1 or Pegasos is far
to little, and it isn't even used anymore (the A1200-mobo is just there to keep the bits
together, and maybe acts like an IO-card).

AFAIK the A2000-version is planned with a single PCI-slot.
