AmigaOne, Articia S, and Mac, oh Why?
« on: February 24, 2003, 12:00:01 PM »
Doesn't the Mac, using a PPC, have the same problem that we experienced on the A1? If not, how did they solve/work around it? Can't we do the same thing?

Amiga! A solution in need of a solution.

So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.

So, moto sells a CPU, and someone else has to figure out how to connect it to the ram chips? Is moto trying to sell CPUs or not? When you're that big, I guess you don't care.

Amiga! We do it our way.

And...we...don't...use...those...because... There's something that I'm missing here, which is?

Amiga! Let's do it their way.

@ tonyw

Thanks for the reply, it was clear and I think most people aren't aware of that, unless it has been brought up months ago (and it probably was).

Amiga! Won't make custom HW, but HAS!

Boy, am I thick skulled. That means tha the Agnus chip in an Amiga (designed by the genius from Hi Torro), IS an Articia S for Amigas. And, due to being custom made for Amiga, doesn't require patches/drivers to the tune of 65 megs (directx 8.1) of code to run.

Amiga! Amiga=Education!
Amiga! Patches, we don't need no stinkin' patches!  (well, small ones, maybe).
