[net.micro.cbm] Mind Set vs Amiga

engle@loral.UUCP (Jack Engle) (01/09/85)

     If anyone is intrested I have evaluated both the Mind Set and the Amiga
     when I was incharge of electronics R&D of KROY inc.  We were going to  
     use on of the systems to do bussiness graphics presentation systems utill
     an over zellis marketing department (the owners son) screwed things up
     by telling them that no one else would buy there product so they better
     M
     d
     bend over for us.  Well as we all see KROY was the one who bent over.

     Well both machines in the best words. AN Supperior IBM Pc With Sprites
     Hires Multi Color And Sterio Sound.

     The Amigas Graphics and sound Are a 3 chip set ( when i saw it it was 3
     boards, the dies wernt ready yet). And with the 68000 based cpu they
     make a wonderfull team.

     The Mind Set use the 8186 and i think a 6845.  The color are limited to 
     4 because of the limited memory that they have.  The Mind Set does have 
     pretty good animation.  One of the software gorou son wrote a game called
     vipper and it looks excelent.  I saw a pie cart slice move out of the pie 
     with its schadoe fallowing on the bottem of the screen and it nocked my
     socks off.

     In all at the time Mind Set had better software then Amiga but from a   
     futures stand point, the amiga will soon go into over drive and pass up
     the Mind set (Camaro vs Ferrari 308 GTSi).
