Amiga not a workstation?
In the Nov. issue, Byte reviewed workstations ("Stalking the ultimate
workstation"). Amigas weren't reviewed, but not for Byte bias.
According to Byte "Two notable platforms are not represented: Amigas and
OS/2 systems. Commodore declined to participate in these applications,
citing the Amiga's multimedia orientation"
Byte reviewed the following machines:
Apple's Mac Quadra 950, Compaq Deskpro 50M, DECStation 5000/120, HP/Apollo
710, IBM RS6000 350, Next's Nextstation, Silicon Graph. Iris Indigo, and
Sun's Spacstation2 GX.
My questions:
– Is the Amiga being positioned to compete with workstations, or not??
– Do you know why CBM declined to participate ??
– Are the A4000 performance worse when compared with a NextStep or Mac
Quadra ??
I like to know your oppinions,
