I write this welcoming correction by higher authorities, so please
take this with a cannister of salt.
Here we have the A2000, better box (metal yet?) with internal zorro
slots, more memory space, more standard internal memory, fat Agnus?
(sorry Agy, no offense), and a low persistance monitor if you want it.
Good news I think. Amiga is staying NTSC compatible, thus this high
res business is probably high rumor (You can have 1536x512 NTSC, but
you can't stretch that vertical!). Composite monitors are just monitors,
so you can hook this nice long persistance monitor up to your old (ouch)
Amiga (maybe work a trade with an A2000 owner).
More good news. Sounds like the same drives and the same chips. No worry
that you are going to be scr**ed for parts, mother board maybe, but not
the chips. The internal slots are said to be zorro, so you can still put
them in your kindly expansion box. I hate intel, but that ibm PC card
would be nice for porting software to a rather lucrative market while
working in a more preferred market. A good way to compare Rogue games :-)
