English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Things the Amiga didn't get right from Day 1

There were no ~30 kHz modes before the A3000, which instead pollutes the studio with fan noise that is unbearably high. It also cost more than most studio equipment. And it was released in 1990. This thread is about the things the Amiga didn't get right from day 1. When the Amiga gained ~30 kHz modes, the Atari ST already had five years of successful studio use behind it, which had given birth to the world's richest ecosystem of MIDI software. Too late to take over that market.

And why buy an expensive multisync monitor when you can have the SM124 72 hz monitor at half the price and with crisper graphics to boot?

Oh, and have you seen the RF emissions of the A1000? That's not the kind of thing you want to put in a studio with any equipment beyond pure MIDI.
