I like th eidea of putting a 100Mhz 060 in a falcon. Will it truly fly, or fry like kentucky?

I wonder if one might be able to Jam some more chip ram in somehow with a soldering iron

What did you think of the emplant? Did it feel at least as fast as the real mccoy?

The A4000 is just the best isnt it? I mean, the minimig has it's charm, but there is no real substitute for processing quality. Give me MotorolaHertz over Mhz any day

Why not? The reason we have these discussions is because we are passionate about our hardware. Some might say, whats the point of owning an amiga when you can emulate one?

Amen to that! If I ever made it big. My first mission will be to get Amiga hardware back into production. How much would it cost do you reckon? Good to have a dream to aspire to, whether it's achievable or not.

When I become a billionaire, I will fund the development of the ultimate Amiga, and the ultimate Atari. Then we could start bashing eachother again just like we used to! ;-)

I was being serious! How many Millions do you reckon it would take to get it off the ground? Never underestimate the power of a great machine that could have done with a bit of marketing.
