well, that'd be your current target - BPPC+BVision. the Mediator is
available now...with support for a couple of PCI gfx cards...but there isnt
a faster CPU for it yet (and wont be for a while) - and certainly no support
for that faster CPU tied down right now
likewise, we've been inundated with info about 'this' and 'that' card - they
all sound good, but they dont yet exist for purchase.... much like all the
other great sounding Amiga products of the past 2 years... BoXeR (oh, make
that 3 years), AmiJoe, G3/G4 cards etc etc
