Actually, David Pleasance of Commodore UK has gone on record as stating that a new SuperAmiga, using a 68060 and the AAA chipset, plus a few new databus tricks designed to enhance intense-single-use applications (like graphics rendering) and four separate clocks (talk about asynchronous) is being geared for a mid-1994 release; as well, the company is working on a "hardware-independent" OS (likely for the Alpha) for some late-1994 system that will be (in Pleasance's own words): "fully Windows compatible with all the Amiga graphics capabilities; and cannot be cloned." Now, I've heard this dismissed as "blue-sky fantasy", but isn't it just a _wee_ bit hard to dismiss a Commodore International VP?
