The A1000 went from nothing to launch in three years, it then took a futher seven years to add 2 bitplanes & some higher resolution modes. Everyone then tried to fix the aging architecture with fast ram and accelerators, that wasn't ever the Amiga way.
I 200% agree with that! It took them 7 years to update some parts of the chipset, not even all parts (sound remained unchanged...). Too little, far too late.
