Even if Doomy is banned, he can still read posts right?  He just can't log in.  You guys are gonna drive him over the edge.  He does love 16-bit Amigas so......and Atari STs

@whabang

What I meant is that Doomy seems to love the first generation 16/32 bit A500/A2000 series.  Though there are 32-bit elements in the architecture, they are not 'true' 32-bit computers, imho (e.g. memory address limitations, ZII narrow bandwidth).  But they still work fine, especially with an accelerator card, which can turn the machine for all intents and purposes into a true 32-bit machine (a la a GVP or Blizzard cpu card with 32-bit memory addressing).  The A1200 and A4000 (and CD32) were designed 32-bit from the start (though C= oddly built in some design limitations for each).
