    How would that relate to what I referred to, i.e. the usage of:

    - "faster blitter",
    - "more Chip RAM",
    - "tons (for an Amiga) of Fast RAM" and
    - "SuperAGA instructions"?

    I don't see how a program leveraging all those features could run on an old m68k Amiga at all or at least fast enough.
