@DDNI - AGA is backward compatible. If someone stayed behind with ECS - well you can't blame anyone for that. PPC lane was something P5 and some other ppl decided to do. It was a dead end since it...

@Bruce

Sure it can. It's not like address lines ARE cut off when accessing SAGA rather than AGA. Well they could (ignore external lines when AGA registers are in use) but aren't. So you COULD use...

@Bruce

Well there's a mountain of differences between upgrading CPU and Fast RAM and using while chipset (as 99% of amiga games does) and building a whole new subsystem with graphics, mass storage...

Well you can't really expect ppl to write whole new games running only on those few PPC accelerators or Vampire, right? It either won't sell or will be too expensive. And things for free... well...
