Reinhardt, I think you are limiting yourself if you push the ATonce as
an A500 product, and here is why: Most Amiga owners would like IBM
compatibility if the price is right. Commodore price isn't. The 2088 is to
slow and the 2286 costs WAY to much, over $1,000. The 2286 also takes up
TWO slots because it was designed so badly. If they could get a 9.xxMHz
whatever it is you use with support for XT/AT slots without taking up any
slots and for only $400 street price, they'd buy it.
I know I would. Especially if it would support a hard drive and CGA and
any addon video cards. However I have an A3000. How difficult would it be
to come up with a 68030 adaptor?
