i just read that article, my eyes are blurry now.
yep looks like a road to disaster to me, sorry mate.
Relying on a 'nothing special' AAA chipset doesnt look too good.
During the AAA development, it was pretty clear AAA would be nothing special if it ever did ship, at least not in raw specs. In 1988, a 64-bit chipset that could do 1280x1024@60Hz, with 11 bits/pixel, would have been something. In 1994, the earliest ship date had C= not failed, it would have been an expensive also-ran (four chips for a 32-bit system, six for a 64-bit system, and you needed VRAM for performance).
Amiga systems needed to be able to stand toe to toe with the Macs and PCs for price and power. Relying on custom chips would make it not match the price war to power wars. Being able to use a plethora of 3rd party hardware would have gone along way to expanding the shelf life of the machines.
at last the AmigaOne is an Amiga going in the right direction. A powerful PPC operating system back in the 90s would have made the amiga as popular as the mac is now. lets just hope its not a case of "y2k y2late" tehehe i thought of that myself witty innit?!
