Questions about the Amiga:

	1.  Can it use a 68010 with minor changes to a few stack offsets in
the operatins system?

	2.  What is the pixel rate for fill and vector operations?

	3.  Is the 1.5 Megabyte `hole' for future 1-Megabit chips on board?
How soon can we expect to see the required 256K X 4 bit chips?  And can the
on-board coprocessors access this extra memory?

	4.  I'm also interested in the timing for off-board memory accesses;
I assume this memory only has to run half as fast as the on-board memory.

	5.  Any 40+ Megabyte hard drives coming out for the machine?

	Needless to say, I want one.  Badly.
