It will need a HUGE HUGE power supply to feed this beast, and a place to put 4096 (1Mb) DRAMS, not including the chip RAM!! > A Mac emulator option We already have that. > A Unix board The only type of UN*X I've used is SOFTWARE (or is that it also has an AmigaDOS board??). ?B^) > A Mac, MS-DOS, Amiga internal drives I bet it will retail for about $120,000 (about the price of the memory ALONE!) ?B^) I think you are right about your friend smoking something weird! B^) This is to much for a wish list, because even is such an AMIGA can be made, It won't be for the normal home user, and sure it won't be in most dealers' shelves. And judging for the obvious contradictions in his statements, there is no such Alpha or AMIGA 4000. ------------ My opinions in NO WAY reflect those of H.P.
