If AmigaDos could be ported to Intel it could take advantage of the low price/performance rati


It's too late to port AmigaDOS to the PC, Windows has replaced MSDOS already. :-D

An any case, AmigaDOS is said to be one of the worst parts of AmigaOS and should never have made it in. So maybe we should give it to PC users!


IMO Exec provides some of the nicer programming interfaces in native amigaland. Later (2.0+) Intuition provides some goodness too (beside the junk offcourse). And yes (Amiga)DOS is one of the uglier parts, I'm sure it's pretty ugly in the inside as well as the outside, poor thing.
I have spoken !

Which is quite sufficient. AGA offers 1024x768 HAM already (and more for that matter), the only extra features would be non-interlaced (which Indivision-AGA fixes already) and speed. So, SuperAGA, as ordinary AGA only with more and faster RAM, would be just fine.


Just for the heck of it:

DPaint4 is faster, uses less memory and looks better. And this time I let DPaint4 do the 24bit-to-HAM converting itself:

You are right, 3000 max, which is still impressive for a machine that basically has no software to deal with the 21st Century....

10000 ! Now I believe you if you count those who
also bought back an old A500 A1200 to play around with
at home.

But 10000 Users that uses Amiga daily or almost
daily, not a chance in the world. Cut the figure in half
and your more close to the truth. And I also believe it's not
possible to sell more than 3000 peices of something "Amiga"
even if the price would be right in 2008-2009.
