So you were put in charge of making the 060 based amiga

[KThunder]

take an a3000t add a zorro 3 rtg svga card, a 16bit sound card and a "a3640-2" with cache ram, fast ram slots and 060 compatibility.

then get to work making the a5000 with all of those built in to one neat small mobo.

If you're playing that game, why bother with the A4000? Hell why bother with the A3000 when the A2000 was capable of everything that your system was.



No I'm saying C= should have dumped developing their own chipsets and gone over fully to RTG using Draco as the starting point.

Keeping Amiga tied to slow, expensive, underperforming chipsets (as they were by the time of AGA) was only ever going to end badly.

Thats basically what I was saying but in a way that Commodore could have done it back then. An 060 amiga with an rtg svga card at a good price point (something they couldn't do with the 4000) could have kept them alive to make the a5000. An "3640-2" could have been produced, if they hadn't put so much into the 4000, 4000t and AAA chipsets.


They didn't see that custom chips days for a single or even a couple computer lines were over.
