On a different note (that is, somethign other than NS486), has anyone considered that NeXT ought to do a quickie port of NS486 to the Amiga (the A4000 is 68040, and there are a number of 68040 A3000's...) and to the Mac (the Quads).. I can't imagine that such a port would be terribly difficult--_especially_ the port to the Mac. Maybe a port to the Atari (ha ha ha) Falcon (it does, after all, have a DSP on board).. This would seem to me to be a quick and easy way to increase the possible market share for NeXT, and given that the a Mac 950 is not all to different from a station (but with better video options) and is about equal in price range (i.e. not going to cause the NeXT-hardware-sales death that NS486 will)--it would seem to be a very logical path to take. The Amiga? Well, the video hardware there might actually halp make up for some of the speed problems of NS3.0... How long could it take? A few months? Anyone? -- /============================rsrodger@wam.umd.emu====================\ | Snout: O Bottom, thou art chang'd! What do I see on thee? | | Bottom: What do you see?
