I don't like it one bit, because it turns awesome Amigas into nothing but glue logic. I don't have an Amiga for that.


Damn, Amiga purists can be such flat earthers.
I doubt if Jay had lived longer that he would have agreed with such sentiment.

Really? Then tell me, what's the point of an Amiga with a graphics card, sound card and PPC cpu? Where's the Amiga in that?

Want a practical machine? Use a peece, it's the only thing that makes sense. Amigas need to retain their retro value, and they don't retain that if you start using them as glue logic.

So, yes, I like to use the old chipset in the old computer I like. When I need something more powerful, I'll use my peecee.


No I don't want a really practical machine, BUT I DO want better performance.
And PCs with UAE don't cut it.
I have PCs, yes they have their place, that is not the point.
YES I want PPC accelerators, video cards, etc.

WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.

Do what you will.
I keep an old A2000 to play around with.
AGA, while colorful, is not that great an upgrade.
I even looked into a PPC accelerator for the A2000, there is one configuration that can be made, but no.
I've got PPC hardware that greatly outperforms it.

So I'm happy.
And we will never agree.
So be it.

@Dandy

Good stuff! And in the real hacking spirit.
As for leaving ANYTHING stock, that is not for me either.
It always needs to be taken further.
