#new Amigas
1 messages in this thread
I just read a very disturbing report in a disk magazine about the possible
course of the new Amigas. This unauthorized report from the November
developers conference said that the new 'Baby' Amiga with built in disk
(][c or ST style) would have the expansion port on the left and turned
upside down! What about encouraging all the people developing hardware for
that port! Sounds like just flipping the Board or something. Never opened
my box but that plan sounds like a sure discouragement for serious
development.
Their rumor on the high end business machine was even worse. Internal
slots, sure, good idea. But a different spec than Zorro? If this is true
then all the add on hardware that has been developed so far will soon be
junk. Sidecar will be orphaned beacause PC AT on a card will be developed
to go in the Big Amy and that will be it. ( actually that is a much better
idea, I had about decided to wait for a PC Zorro card for a side expansion
box ) Can any one shed any Light on these rumors? If they are true then I
fear that Amiga development will be destroyed.
