Well I see it like this:
Phase 1:
[Classic]
Phase 2:
[Classic Amigas with PPC running Amiga OS4.1]
Phase 3:
[PPC Computer running Amiga OS4.1]
NG Amigas are in phase 3 of course.
The advantages being:
- Brand new hardware
- Relatively modern hardware which is much more powerful than what you get in Phase 2
- Relatively affordable when price compared with what a highend Amiga 4000 with PPC fetches
Disadvantage:
- no custom chipsets so you if you want to play Pinball Dreams you have to get the A500 back down from the attic (or get a minimig)
