Why can't a windows machine do it.

What is the argument?  That a modern PC cannot sroll the screen as in a video game?  Bullcrap.  Play Platypus,a claymation 2d shooter from a few years go.  Scrolls fine at 60fps.

Or is this some kind of nerd debate about an esoteric kind of scrolling only l33t Amiga users can understand?

Plus, AmigaOS actually FITS on a very small ROM.

Have you used an Xbox 360 or a Wii? Or a Symbian Smartphone or a Windows Mobile PocketPC?  There's not probem putting an OS on ROM and it boots fast.  Are you looking for this level of functionality? I daresay I've seen Linix and even Window$ (or however the frak cool kidz spell it) stripped down so much it would fit on a ROM.  But unless you never intend to tweak things, you may want to wait before you buy an eprom burner.  invest in an SSD?
