There are a few other things that I would like to see, though. I would like to see a disk controller that would allow the ][ to use IBM disk drives. IF its done right, the disk controller chip would allow the processor to do other things. The last, but most important is a price. The GS (ofwhich I am no longer a proud owner of) should only cost $768 for the CPU , 512k, 3.5, and a monochrome monitor. Still, with a price like that the GS cannot compare to an Amiga 500 or an Atari ST. (whoever stted that the Amiga was sin was a little off, its a saviour!)
