Save Scening with AAA

[Atheist]

A new custom Amiga with AAA could be made.

When AInc, sell enough A1s, all they need to do is make a custom high speed PCI audio/video display card with AAA capabilities, backward compatable to AGA and  OCS/ECS. It would have to be a multiple of 7.12 and not make a 320.4MHz, 356 MHz, and 384.48MHz model, but only 1 type to maintain a common standard for games and demos to work on.

Amiga! We need standards.

Hi, nice day eh? Tuesday morning, anyhow.

What they should do is make a card with multiple chips on it, then just pick (in SW) the one you want to use.

Put the Fatter Agnus (make a 32 or 64 or 128 meg chip ram version), and AGA (32 chip+) on there for absolute backwards compatability. Then, make a custom, or select a current, maybe the Ti4600, for 3d. But, whatever they choose as the 3d chip. Make a commitment to ONLY USE IT for 3 or 4 years, not keep using a different one every 4 or 5 months. Then, software that is written will run, just about identically, on any Amiga.

BTW: Same goes for sound.

Amiga! We need a standard, so we should use the best one, AOS 4.0!

Hi downix,

How about re-programable EEprom, or FPGA, or what I'm trying to get at is, aren't there chips you can "flash" information to , that can emulate custom chips? I believe, if they exist, they are slower, but 2 or four in a multi-processor array? On a PCI card, of course.

Amiga! True flexibility is the source of it's power!
