Hardware consultants in the Santa Clara area rent themselves for about $100 - $150 an hour. The technology to generate video is well known so given a 320 hour contract (6 to 8 weeks) say about $24,000 to $48,000 you could have either a 2K by 2K monochrome or a 1K by 1K X 24 bit framebuffer designed that would run in the Amiga 3000. Parts are extra so kick in another $4000 - $6000 for PC layout and fabrication and enough parts to build up a prototype. Depending on the consultant you may or may not be able to get some driver routines thrown in for "free", or you could always spend another 20 - 30 thousand for a software wiz to make it "intuition/graphics" compatible. (Heck you could probably hire I and I Computing (aka Jim Mackraz) if price really isn't an object). >Also, I have a 500 Classic (4-digit serial number).

If you bought a 500 I would guess that price was an object :-) -- --Chuck McManis Sun Microsystems uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: <none> Internet: cmcmanis@Eng.Sun.COM These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
