Personally, I'd rather see the Amiga as the "primary" machine….. and an '040 Amiga at that. Assuming that the "AA" chipset can do 256 color graphics @ 1024×768 Rez (and if it can't, C= really should re-think things) at least well enough to emulate a super-vga card, a Zorro III 32-bit 486 bridgecard sould be possible that will give you a 486-based PC in an Amiga system. If the AA chipset allows "Super-VGA" emulation through a bridgecard of this type, well, what else would you need? (If C= wanted to get really crazy, they could write a Windows display driver that could use the Amiga to do all the graphics for Windows 3.x/NT — now wouldn't that be a pip!) Brian NOTE: this is of course a pipe dream…. – via Whap!
