Would there be a market for a machine that runs all your comfortable Amiga
software (Pagestream 3, Toast, …) AND PowerMac software (and of course
regular Mac software) AND OS/2 and Chicago?
I'm thinking that if the PowerPC cpu series can run Mac operating system,
it can be made to run AmigaDos. I visualize Jim Drew's developer
consortium, after buying the right to the Amiga, developing it in native
mode, but also porting it to the PowerPC cpu.
I was going to say that the next generation Emplant would run Mac and Dos
software, but the PowerPC chip shouldn't need an Emplant to do that.
