- Ok. That's it!!!
- If you are telling me that Atari put a GREAT processor,
- the 68030, and then put it onto a 16 bit data bus..well!
-
- look..
-
- 1. Atari 8-bit [atari 800]
- 2. Atari 16-bit [st]
- 3. Atari 32(16) bit (?) [falcon]
-
- If they're next computer is 16 bit it doesn't make sense!!!
-
- Why not use a souped up 16Mhz 68000 instead of an expensive 68030
- and still only have 16 bit data bus
-
- RUBBISH!!!
-
- Atari aren't THAT stupid!!!! The FALCON has a 32 bit bus, till
- I see it with my own eyes..
-
- ps: has anybody seen the 16-bit bus with THEIR eyes?
- (no crap please)
