Yes! I'd love to see once exactly how fast all these chips are (80286,
68000, 80386, 68020, 80486, 68040). For example, I've heard once that a
standard 68000 Amiga has about the same computing power as a 12 Mhz 80286.
Is this true? How about a fast 386/486? What does it take to blow them out
of the water?
