I guess so,
too. Connecting Amiga to plasma was probably the least
hassle of all alternatives. PC would need something special (either
card or converter?), and a hard drive, and a big box, and separate
keyboard and reboot every four(ty) days - Amiga 500 could be just
"stuffed under the rug". And after loading a "demo" from a floppy,
there was no moving parts involved. It could just sit there and
display flying images for years.
Exactly. Maybe once a week, turn it off, put in the new floppy from
HQ, turn it back on, or something like that.
The early plasma TVs usually had BNC RGBHV inputs and such. They could
take VGA in very easily. I'm pretty sure a PC would have been way easier
to deal with and could reach much higher resolutions... without needing a
DB-23 connector :-)
