Faster parts could go in an Amiga that had switchable clock rates – easily
done. Lots of PC's do that now with processors and/or I/o, in order to
work with some of the games, etc, that just won't run in the more
sophisticated environments. Or, they could go in an Amiga that was "new
generation – IE, not a game machine.
The idea of my 40 mhz machine slowing down to 700 kilohertz still fills me
with ennui and itch. I'm one of those unfortunates who has a product that
runs real-time stuff with the 8520's; and I can't think of a way to slow
the machine down more without clogging chip ram to death.
Time.. Ok… lets say a month. :^) Better?
And like you say, it's moot now.
