I dont realy like the subject because its irelevant

But the ChipSet was what made the Amiga great at the start but keeping it would maybe not have been cost affective and moving to Graphics cards would have been better but loose all compatibility.

The OS was getting week not even a decent notepad as standard

The 68x series of processors had run its course - for compatibility you would need both the 68x and other processor to go forward.

Now how do you make an "Amiga" compatible with old software but as powerfull as a 3D0,PSX etc cost affective at the time?
