According to the "Computers and Music" writer in Keyboard magazine, the
Amiga has an unreliable timer chip that causes problems in sequencers 
written on the amiga.  I've considered an Atari ST or one of the new 
A500's to driver my ESQ-1, and while the ST seems to be the machine of 
choice for synth stuff, the Amiga seems better overall.  If the rumors
of A500's showing up in mass retailers for Christmas is true, it should
be the better machine for long term support too.  The only down side to
the Amiga is the report mentioned above.  

Can anyone provide more info?
