WE GOT HIM!!! DAVE ADMITS THAT AN 040 AMIGA IS ON ITS WAY!!! Well, since Progressive Peripherals and a few others have already admitted to working on '040 based accelerators for Amigas, it should come as no surprise, even given that, they I know something about '040 based Amigas. Any time CATS gets an '040 question, they call up either me or Scott Schaeffer. In other words, "'040 based Amiga" is a generic term for any Amiga system that somehow has an '040 in it. It doesn't imply how that '040 got there. So don't get too excited. Then again, it would probably surprise lots of people if Commodore wasn't supporting the '040, since the C= logo showed up in the first Motorola '040 adds, way back when. -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy "That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight" -R.E.M.
