Well as the boxer is now in sale... Wouldn't that be a good option? OK it's
expensive, but at least it is %100 AGA compatible and faster than the
original 1200 or A4K. Also is uses Sdram memory and there is no chip ram
limitation. Personally I think this is a good route to go! I still love
the miggy and I have just taken the same route as Mikel because I to have
just bought a PC. My Amiga is getting a bit long in the tooth...the floppy
port is dead and my HD is nearly dead now (Hehehe) Before you say it Rob, I
know I should not take out my temper on my Amiga ;). Hmmm, I AM going to
buy a boxer... I've just convinced myself ;)
