Isnt there something we can learn from them?
« on: January 19, 2010, 10:48:02 PM »
The Good things about the Atari

The CT60/CT63 accelerator can achieve 105 mhz with 68060 cpu and can hold up to 512 MB of PC-100 (7ns ram).

They have the Hades Atari 68k clone

The Coldfire Atari project has a booting prototype and a reasonable goal.

They have a very cool open source browser that supports CSS called HighWire (works on 68k an does not require a GFX card!)

They already have a free opensource operating system clone, and an also opensource TOS ROM (kickstart).

At 23 GBP you can get an ethernet for an Atari

3- They were smoking a workaround for NTSC vs PAL issues on games. It was a good solution back then, but surely, not a great one today!

Maybe there are only three Atari users around, but surely they are doing something!

The Amiga has what? Like 1k-5k users?, being much more less productive. If you measure the good aspects of a scene by its size, then leave the Amiga and go for Macs or even better PCs :)
