in no particular order:

the a600, cdtv, cd32.

aga being nerfed, the lack of chunky pixels and the performance hit was awful at a good screenmode/colour depth. Interlacing is the worst idea. Ideally there should have been some 3d support to maintain an edge over pc.

the 68020 failchip in aga machines, and the mysterious lack of fastram.

I don't know of anyone who didn't upgrade their OS because they had to remove the old kickstart chips and insert new ones.  Macs had ROMs socketed on the motherboard as well.


Macs had roms that were patched by the upgraded os at boot. pulling the roms and replacing them is only needed to run os versions newer than are supported, and is pointless. os 8.1 on an se/30 anyone?

See: SetPatch ;)

Not the same. I'd like to see 3.9 run on a 1.3 kickstart rom.

I'd like to see MacOS9 run on a MacOS7 rom equipped classic. Equally not going to happen, is it?

1. No visionary management.  Imagine what the company would have been like with the tyrannical perfectionist and visionary Steve Jobs.

Actually I agree with everything you said there.
