Aren't the
A1200 a little too 'old' technology for the new machines
market where everyone must have a fast MMX Px with faster math copro
for Quake? Unless they're selling them as NCs or Nintendo killers.
The Amiga OS on a modern CPU should literally scream. My own 7.1Mhz Amiga
500 seems snappy compared to the doggish NT box I use at work, and suffers
from fewer crashes.
The thing that dooms new developement of the Amiga line is the fact that
the M68K line of processors is just about out of steam. Sure, a blazingly
fast Amiga with a 68060 would be nice, but Motorola is trying to kill off
the line gracefully, so the PowerPC and Coldfire chips can prosper.
