- * Welcome to the new Amiga-Technologies PowerPC Project V1.0 *
-
- This FAQ is compiled from all information of the last convention about Amiga
- in StockHolm
-
- Copyright Noyar Wollem - But Pleas spread it.
- I guarantee that all the information is correct, because this text was

- As we all know Amiga-Technologies is bussy with te walker
- project and the walker will be released begin this summer.
- But there is some more news, today there was a convention
- held in Stockholm with Amiga-Technologies , ESCOM , Phase-5
- and SONY. For the people who didn't know, SONY has took over
- the Amiga from ESCOM. (Read USENET, newsgroup: comp.sys.amiga.news)
-
-
- There were some really nice things there in Stockholm, SONY
- has idea's to build PlaySTation technics for VideoGraphics,
- like Hardware 3D : Texturemapping, Antialiasing, Flat and
- 3D surfaced Polygons.
-
-
- When the Walker Project is finished the 'new' Amiga will be
- released in begin summer of 1997. Am-Tech is already bussy
- with the 'new' Amiga. It's called The AM-R6xx Project or in
- other words Amiga R600 will be the new line of the new Amiga's.
- Because the Amiga is going to change a lot, and it wouldn't be
- logical to call it A4500 or A5000 or whatever!
-
-
- The internal hardware was the main discussion at the converence
- in Stockholm. The whole setup of the Amiga will be changed ,
- CHIPMEM and/ FASTMEM will still be the same but with a different
- technique. All graphics chips will be changed 3D chip will be
- inplented 24bit video output will be available in 72Hz , 60Hz and
- 50Hz PAL standard (Of course this can be changed by user). User
- can choose between 'CHUNKEY' and 'BITPLANE' modes because of the
- realtime Chunkey-TO-Planner converter. And ofcourse the CPU will
- be changed (see Tech.specs). New parallel port will be installed
- named EPP designed by Intel. This new port can handle 15MB/s. The
- processor who will be the hard of the new amiga is as u all know
- the PowerPC series from Apple , IBM, Motorola. (602 - 620). There
- will be an optional empty CPU socked for parallel processing for
- more processor speed. And ofcourse the O/S will be ported to RISC
- with a 68K emutalion for the 'OLD' 680x0 code. So you can still
- work with your 'OLD' Applications.
