Amazing. An article from mmdf@louie.udel that wasn't a repeat.

Like the article said. A bit of both.


I can outdo that rumour though. I've heard there are 5 amigas in the world
with 40 Mhz 68030's and 32 megabytes of 32 bit ram.

I didn't know those things ran at 40 Mhz, or are they grade outs from
the 33 Mhz parts bin ?
