The Amiga has one small advantage that the Apple line doesn't...namely a
68xxx CPU, which means that the Amiga doesn't have to do the software
emulation of a "larger" chip that the 65xxx line would have to.  A "Mac
in the //gs" board is in the workings, according to a (fairly) solid
rumor.  I'd give very good odds that the board would have a 68xxx chip
on it.
