But can you get these features on a Mac with one floppy drive without HD? I fear NOT. But when equipped with a HD, also Amiga can provide at least two of these features: the outline Compugraphic fonts are 'round the corner (I already could test them, really nice), and VM is available as a HD controller utility for the Evolution. To compare the other way: Can a Mac multitask with OS 7.0 on a one-floppy/ no-HD system and/or within only 512 KB RAM??? -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...
