Mac users dreaming (fwd)

Mind-blowing AmigaOS machine sports quad G3 processors

It's difficult to believe, but by overcoming the hardware
multiprocessing limitations of the G3 via software, Phase 5
Digital Products has developed a number of multiprocessing
PowerPC systems which run AmigaOS 3.1 -- including a quad
G3 system, with 4 300Mhz PowerPC 750 processors, each with
its own 1MB backside cache. This dream machine also sports
a 100Mhz main bus, 66Mhz PCI, an 8mb graphics system, a
special slot for a Voodoo2 3D acceleration system, UltraII
SCSI, a 100mbit ethernet card, and other features -- at a
$4495 price point.

Unforunately, while a reliable source confirms that these
machines are very real and that several European Amiga
users are already testing prototypes, they will almost
certainly never run the Mac OS or Rhapsody because of
special limitations in the ability to use low-level
software which allows the G3 to multiprocess; limitations
that are only known to be overcome by the AmigaOS and a few
UNIXes.

That won't stop us from dreaming, however. :-)
