 Hmm.  The local Software Etc. here has dropped the Amiga hardware.
They no longer have it out on display, and when I asked the sales clerk,
he indicated that they've dropped it.
 There is still a small section devoted to software, and books.

 The A600 would probably be an ideal computer for some place like
Software, Etc.  They are going more and more for the games market,
and I believe that's what the A600 is targetted for.

 Only problem is, the Super Nintendo is now down to $100.  The A600 is
going to have to sell for under $200 to compete, complete with a 
game and everything needed to play games(i.e. cord to TV, joystick, etc.)

 Why I might even buy one...

   The Paula chip in the A3000 is exactly the same chip as the Paula chips in
the very earliest A1000s.  The Paula chip cannot access 1.44MB drives in 
general; IE: you cannot plug in any old IBM 1.44M drive and use it, as you
can plug in any IBM 720K drive and use it.  You have to use special HD drives
that spin the motor at half-speed, so that the old Paula chip can keep up
with the data stream.

   You are still implying that any 1.44M floppy drive can be plugged into an
A3000 and used.  This is totally untrue.  Reread what I said above.

A friend of mine bought his A3000 in may 1992. He got it with a hd-drive in
it. It is a Chinon drive, don't ask about the product number.
And this drive can simply be used on DD disks as on HD disks. Without any
switches or something like this. So, does this drive access HD disks on
halve rotational speed ?

   I kind of doubt it, the 486/50 dx2 which does run internally at 50MHZ
   averages 9 MIPs on the C&T MIPS benchmark, which, I believe does a 
   pretty good job with a general instruction, integer, memory to memory,

   the straight 50 will do better on the memory access tests, however,

Well, Marc, this seems to be your basic problem.  You spend too much time
using your Amiga as a terminal to post truth-impared messages.

You claim to be a certified developer, so develop something!  Maybe then you

I believe the reason why I asked for features of OS/2 over AmigaDOS was
because of your claim that one shouldn't compare the two operating systems
since one did so much more than the other.  I wanted to know what it did.
You certainly seemed to imply that OS/2 was in a class above AmigaDOS.  I

I was replying to your original assertion that a desirable feature of OS/2
was that it ran DOS binaries.  I pointed out that other OS's also had this
*feature*, to which you reply that it doesn't run them as *completely*.  
Ignoring the fact that the discussion is shifting, let me point out that
I see no reason why a 386 Bridgeboard solution with a SoundBlaster board
installed wouldn't run Wing Commander with full SoundBlaster support.  So
by your own critera, then, an Amiga running OS 2.04 with a bridgeboard
has the feature of being able to run Dos/Windows binaries *completely*.

I've heard of this same machine referred to as an A3400.  If the info
that I've seen is true, I'll be buying one of these things ASAP.  If
not, I'll keep the old A3000 but it will be hard to justify spending
any money on it.  

When I first heard about the IDE interface I thought it sucked, but it
will be nice to be able to add huge and cheap hard drives.  Still, I
hope that someone quickly releases a Zorro III SCSI board so I can 
cannibalize my A3000s drive.

>I think that's pretty good, if not the "grand" announcement you

I've been waiting for something like these machines for a long time now,
in fact, they sound like what I'd hoped the A3000 to be.

I was never convinced it was needed in the first place.  But then again,
again, since Reagan was reportedly surprised to learn that ICBMs could

a survivable, recallable deterrent which could be used in the
context of "limited" nuclear war.

That the B-2 was and likely still is incapable of fulfilling this
