Ah HA, you fell into the trap, you poor, uneducated Atari user!! For after all, how many video businesses do YOU see using the CM or YMP??? HMMM???? Not only that, but you can't play BLAZEMONGER on them, and you can't even get interlaced video!! In the case of the YMP, it DOESN'T EVEN MULTITASK *or* have a blitter or copper to do the mega-cool pirate demos on!! (Sure the CM can do a number of things simultaneously, but guess what? YOU HAVE TO USE A SEPERATE PROCESSOR FOR EACH ONE!!!!!!!!!) But never fear, you can use a cool Amiga 3000 as a front end for either one (or more accurately, you can use either machine as an accelerator card for the Amiga). That way you can play BLAZEMONGER *AND* toast video *AND* get multi-mega-flops!! (Not at the same time, but....) ONLY AMIGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Rob, an Amiga user admittedly, but I really can't stand zealots of any kind. -- Robert Jude Kudla, for the moment.... "Oh, forgive me, Assembly'O'God! Oh Jaysus, I jest stuck the tip in, oh ma god...."
