I have growing concern over the emminent release of the Commodore A2024 TIGA board, relating mostly to the issue of PRICE. I would expect to see this card in the $1000-$1500 range. However, there are several TIGA 34010- based boards on the market for PC and Mac, some of which cost as little as $600. Considering there are several 34020-based boards which can DISPLAY 16 million colors that are in the $800-$1400 range, I believe it would be a serious problem if the Commodore board where overpriced. We have always prided ourselves in being able to provide fancy graphics for far less than the competition, and it would be a great disservice if our first major entry into the graphics market (not counting the Toaster, which I believe can only compete in the video market) , which will actually begin to compete with todays higher-resolution/color PC displays, makes an Amiga solution far from cost-effective. Additional comments are welcome.
