For a time there was talk about a 32-bit PCI Amiga board that would plug into your favourite Intel Pentium or AMD Box, however, after reading the bit about Hitachi and their attempts to make a dual boot box, I can kind of see why this never came to pass... Really unfortunate, as this would've been super happening to have the higher bus speeds and a really decent math coprocessor (the Intel Chip). Used to be offered by Siamese Systems in the UK http://www.siamese.co.uk
Miss my video toaster/flyer system, but such is life...
Rather amazed that Amiga didn't get together with AMD after DEC went under (the Amiga running the DEC Alpha 433 at one computer show was absolutely unbelievable, think that it was also running the AGA chipset for video, but had gobbs o' RAM, too).
Have to wonder if these newer PPC machines you're talking about are going to be running modified PPC Processors, much akin to the older offerings of the Amiga line up relative to the Motorola chips... Have any information on this and/or a release date?
Who knows, maybe Apple might end up saving itself in such a dual boot system... Don't dig their current video editing suites...
Will that be in PAL or NTSC?
