Isnt there something we can learn from them?

Can it multi task?

I guess it'll run MultiTOS and probably an m68k Linux too.

I always liked the CT60 cards, seems a shame nobody made something like that for the A1200.

There doesn't seem to be a single 040/060 card for the amiga1200 in which the CPU is connected properly to memory (by which I mean in a fashion that the limit to memory IO is actually the CPU and not the bus).

IMO we could learn something from the Commodore 8bit market. Most users accepted the platform as a retro hobby 15+ years ago. Many Amiga users (and companies) still expect the Amiga to take over the world, which is far too unrealistic of a goal.

Surely nobody left is that naive?

For instance, Hyperion market OS4.x with the "Remember when computing was fun?" line. That doesn't tend to suggest they feel it's going to be a workplace contender to me.

Speaking of 8-bit, did any of you guys ever check out the BMOW (big mess of wires) project?

ST sound is hilariously bad. coupled with a screen resolution where the file menu used the entire screen and it's a wonder why people didn't just buy an amiga and put in a midi card.

Not so on the Falcon, though. There were apps that could do multi channel 16-bit 44kHz audio all mixed realtime on the DSP.

Shame about the 16-bit CPU bus though. Capital crime, should have had at least a wedge of 32-bit wide memory even if it was only for the CPU and not accessible by the rest of the hardware.
