Interesting; I also had a QL before getting my Amiga and abandoned it mostly because the required PAL-UK monitor was expensive but it was a step up from C64 at the time. Never imagined they were still manufactured! So Samsung makes QL's and Amstrad bought out Sinclair computers, and Amstrad is also supposedly interested in Amiga, HP wants to put AGA in sittops and licensed PA-Risc to Samsung? Small world, after all. >Perhaps someone could make an A1200-type board which would plug into the PC ….? Sure, but what would it get from the PC except maybe DC voltage? It would be the flip side of a BridgeBoard in an Amiga 2000, and the argument has been made many times that if we want PC compatibility we should buy a PC. I think the PC people would be better off to buy the A1200 too. Of course as a board in a PC clone it will gain dubious respectability in the eyes of the Big Blue business users finally. What a sad commentary. alternate: jonest@hfsi.com I don't make jokes, I just report what the government does…Will Rogers
