It'll come out in 1 micron CMOS and will address 2 megs at 16 megaHertz. No really, this is what I think. Then the Trackdisk device will handle 1.6 MByte floppies and it will be possible to run monitors at - what, about 1200 pixels? The agnus in the 3000 runs a monitor at about 35KHz max so the Fast Agnus would drive one at 70KHz. Wouldn't that be a Mac II killer? Dana Bourgeois @ cup.portal.com OK, OK, so maybe it will address 4 megs. I'm just guessing, OK?
