^^^^^^^^
Good luck. A friend of mine working on Image Analysis (or whatever it's
called in English) here at Uppsala University (Sweden), says that their
Indy needs 48MB to boot at all. And that it can't run much more than a
couple of standard programs even then. And that opening a shell window
takes 5MB memory. How many shells can you open on an Amiga 4000/040
before the memory runs out? Just curious. ;) (Even my A1200 w/ 40MHz '030,
40MHz '882 and a total of 6MB memory could open up quite a few, I suspect.)
: I know it's not so nice to make ad for my company, but I am not involved in
: sales, I have an A3000 + '040 + 26MB RAM, and I would like to have an Indy,
: yes.
: Sorry but I couldn't resist, the price/performance ratio is a little bit
: better than for Amiga.
Not in the low-end graphics market. Try a Video Toaster and feel the
difference in your wallet!
: When is 68060 - based Amiga arriving ?
As soon as Motorola releases the '060, things will get going...
