And lots doesn't. I agree it is a Draco emulator, and I think AmigaInc
will be deluged with complaints from purchasers saying this or that
program doesn't run.
I know how irritating the Draco is if you try to use it for anything
more than straight video editing.
However, I think it can be a great advert for AmigaOS, showing just how
far it has come since the A500 (something we tend to forget).
I hope millions of copies are in use ASAP.

I would be looking for whatever runs ImageMaster fastest. Amithlon
probably won't run it at all. The 68k emulator in AOS 4.0 may not be as
fast as the Amithlon. If it is 3 times as fast as a 68060, I'm
interested.
