I have been thinking of getting an old 68k machine like the
Amiga 500. I always wanted a 68k machine but never got
around to getting one. I guess I was subconciously always waiting
for a 68k based coco4 from Tandy.
How hard is it to get hardware and software support for the Amiga
nowadays. Would it make a good approximation to what a 68k coco4
would be or would the Atari 520 ST be a better example. It's clock is 8 Mhz
I think? Does that make it 4 times faster than the coco3? Does it
"feel" 4 times faster when executing machine code or basic?
just wondering if it would be worth the trouble...
