So, I think you >could easily sell 1000 accelerators if there was such available. I will be buying a 50Mhz 030 for my CD32 when it's available. Really, though, 040s and 060s are a bit of a waste as AGA holds them back so much, and nobody codes anything that needs the power. I mean, AB3D II will be fine with a 50Mhz 030, so why go the extra expense? For the money you'd pay for an 060 accelerator, you could buy a whole Pentium system to do your number crunching on, leaving the Amiga for fun. That's how I'll probably do it.. ;0 -- Paul Dossett | EpiphoneYamahaPearlPaiste | Amiga 2000/040/17/365/ZIP/3.1__ -------------| Amiga owner since 1988! | Amiga CD32/020/10/200/3.1 __/// Melbourne OZ | astroboy@netspace.net.au | 1976 Toyota Corolla 1.2 \XX/ http://netspace.net.au/~astroboy/home.html Visit the website of love!
