This talk of A3000s having a cheap upgrade path to AA is very amusing.
Remember how the A3000 was supposed to allow super-cheap '040 upgrades?
It turned that more (and cheaper) '040 cards were designed for the A2000
because the market is much larger. Market forces dictate price, not the
cost of the chips.

Eye of the Beholder?  That came out on 3 880k disks, which would mean you 
need a 2megabyte cartridge (not megabit).  How are you going to shove one 
of those on the lynx?

Huh?
Gee, when they start selling Amiga's for A$150, then I could see millions of 
games being sold.  How many of those Donkey Kong hand held games where made?
You know, those two screen, flip-flop LCD thingies?  Probably just as many 
as Lynxh.  Both the Nintendo LCD flip-floppies and Lynx are in the same ball 
park.  Toys for kiddies.

How on earth can you attend an American institution and speak such poor 
English?

There are a couple of reasons I can think of:

o You are asian and born outside the US, so English is not your first 
  language.  YOUNG could be an angicized version of Yeung.

o You have hacked into Jeff Young's account and using his internet/usenet
  access.

I should have pointed out before that when I saw the SoundBlaster
modules being played on a 486/33 under Windows 3.1, the sound quality 
might have been comparable to the Amiga, but Windows was incredibly slow, 
nearly frozen, with the modules playing.  I doubt it could have handled 
a download at the same time.   

I don't know how OS/2 would fare.

	You are just as guilty as they are. Or you medical treetment your
self. I have Links for the Amiga, for the A3000 to be exact. Now
AmigaWord could be excused for compairing it to the equivalent product
I saw running on an Amstrad 286, It does look pathetic compaired
to the Amiga version. But I can garantee that the Amiga version looks
like nothing like a C64.

That's the million dollar question.  Possible answers -

1) The 3.0 ROMS won't be ready in 2 weeks.  So ship 3.0 on 
the A4000 hard drive (like the A3000) and release roms in a 
year or so when it is fully debugged.  Release disk based 2.1 for everybody 
else now to make some extra cash.

2) They've decided it wasn't a big enough jump to call it 3.0 ?

3) The AA machines aren't ready yet.

Pick which ever one you like or feel free to make your own guesses :-)

Sorry, but Sun tried that same thing. They had a "special" 386 system. It
sold like. Well...like a lead balloon. If the Amiga chipset were attached
to a 386 system, you're basically putting CBM in the position of being

Sorry, but now you've thrown me. You want a 386 because the clone market
is moving to RISC? If you're in the low end, and you're going to be
proprietary anyway, why worry about which CPU?

>I expected the insults...

I hope you don't take this as an insult, I'm just not clear why a 386 would
magically make the low-end better, particularly if developers have to
write proprietary code to take advantage of the Amiga chip set anyway.

 	Although I don't have an MPC system, the SBPro is still great for
  games IMHO.  Especially the games that specifically support the Pro version.
  One card that you didn't mention was the Gravis Ultrasound, it is supposed
  to have been released today.  From reading the soundcard groups, it sounds
  pretty good.  Electronic Arts is selling them for $99.

Calm down! They just compared the original IBM version with Amiga
version. (not LINKS386/PRO version) Under 320x200 resolution mode, HAM
is better than VGA.

    Maybe it depends on what you get used to, but I find that they
    look better on the Amiga (the PC is a PS/2 Model 60). LORES pics
    look blocky on the PC, and if the picture is supposed to be
    interlaced you're pretty much screwed (except for 640x480, which
    does indeed look better on the PC than it does on an Amiga that
    isn't sporting a GDA-1 or Resolver or whatever).

    Hm. I see you said _S_VGA. Is this different from the 320x200/256
    and 640x(350|480)/16 that's in every single PC (dozens) I've seen
    at work?
