  Ok stop for a second... although you are making a big deal over the
display enhancer, your points are valid. What you say about the a4000 not
being able to deinterlace all screens automatically, etc. etc. is all true,
but you are making a BIG deal over very little really... think of the
capabilities the a4000 has that you are throwing away to avoid seeing scan
lines on games....

   But saying the a3000 is far more ADVANCED is outright wrong. The "dumb"
deinterlacer in the 3000 may provide some output advantages over the a4000
is some situations, but it is very very much LESS advanced.

   Plus the a4000 can display higher res non-interlaced screens that the
a3000 can anyways.

   Although your points are, as always, valid, your conclusions, as always,
are not.

Marc, the "de-interlacing" is all in hardware in Alice/Lisa, though we refer
to it as scan doubling.  The software component is simply to determine when to
enable the scan doubling and build an approrite copper list.

You should really shut the fuck up when you're clueless, which seems to
be most the of the time.

Who cares what you believe.  Have you tried your purity test or are you
must making more noise?  Do you own an Amber chip or are you just comparing
the virtures of Rolls Royces and Bentlys to create an illusion of knowledge?

There is it is called mcopy and m[*].  It should be in the regular sun os stuff.
Of course that is for IBM disks.  But that is hardly a prob, just use multidos

   Actually, 8M addressing would be 23-bit.  But anyway, why did you have to
worry about preserving the pin count from the Agnus chip?  You obviously did
not worry about the Lisa chip having the same number of pins as the Denise
chip, for instance.  

   It is interesting that you have confirmed that the Agnus core has not been
updated very much.  This leaves two of the original Big Three Amiga chips that
have not been updated very much from the versions found in the Amiga 1000.

   Are you now confirming that no upgrades to the Alice chip are being planned
as updates to existing systems?  If not, then why are you saying that the
devotion of three pins as additional addressing pins is not the "true path to
the future"?

Due to changing systems I have a choice of the KCS Powerboard

All I really want to do is transfer data and maybe a bit of
printing. I don't need speed nor storage space. Which will
compromise the Amiga side least, ie which will use up least of
the precious Amiga resources such as processor time, ram, and
hard disk space? I have been using the A2286 so I am familiar

the KCS is an unknown. Will the KCS be able to use a HD floppy?

just to add a comment, to date i haven't been able to get amax
(cartridge amax w/2.51) to work with my gvp g-force 030 board.
readysoft claims it should work, but raymond was unable to help me
despite a number of lengthy calls.  so it may be wrong to just assume
that amax is bug-free and will work with any sensible configuration.

ps  if anyone actually has been able to get amax to work with the

Actually, the 030 systems are fast enough under the 2.x of NeXTstep.  Under 3.x,
however, you'll need a good bit more memory to avoid disk thrashing (12 megs to
be safe) under regular sorts of heavy loads, like compiling, rendering, etc.

The i860 is only used on the NeXTdimension board.  This is a high-performance
graphics board with all kinds of ins and outs, 32 bit color (8 alpha, 24 hue),
etcetera.  The NeXTstation Color and NeXTstation Turbo Color, for example, are
merely using their 68040s for their 16-bit (4 alpha, 12 hue) color.  Of course,
every NeXT runs color software seamlessly due to the use of Display Postscript,
which is fully device-independent and converts colors to gray scales and
dithered patterns automatically when running on a machine with insufficient
color support (Such as a mono 4-bit grayscale monitor (2 alpha, 2 hue)).
