I don't see why they can't use the latest processor in the series rather than the goopy old 8086. Also, is the 68020 card going to have an MMU? It'd be kind of nice to run Unix with Amigados running as process underneath so that I can play Skyfox :-). Of couse, this would involve some major brain work on Amigados, but it needs to be rewritten in C anyway. Any plans for a 68030 card? Masscomp just announced a 68030 upgrade and they're claiming 7 mips performance. That kind of performance would sure be nice to have in an Amiga. Can you imagine what Sublogic Jet is going to be like in a 5-7 mips machine? Is CA doing anything about presenting interlace resolution graphics without the interlace mode? Am I being hopelessly optimistic? CA leapfrogged everyone's PC when they introduced the Amiga 1000. I'm considering upgrading to a 2000, but quite frankly, unless I think CA has a committment to improving their machines and keeping up with the rest of the world, I'll just use it until it gets old and then go with a machine that is going to be able to keep up.
