>> …if AAA is out, what graphics subsystem is going to be used in his >> RISC based Amigas? Off the shelf PC cards? That's one of the first things that went through my mind too. I suppose they could put the AGA chipset on a card for now or even just use one of the current third-party boards; then when they have a new chipset ready, they can put it on a card too. Of course, that course of action would require either another rewrite of the OS or a driver setup (a la WinDoze). About his wanting to have the Amiga's future decided by users — I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing new graphics chips that are capable of the stuff some of these new game systems can do. Wouldn't it be nice to have high-speed, shaded, texture-mapped polygon rendering functions built into the hardware — especially for, say, 3D animation previews in real time? (And 24-bit is a must.) – Jim, on AutoPilot!
