Do you know how many Draco's where sold? And - what effect did those (few?) sales have on "stabilizing the community"?

@number6
The aim of the Draco was to give MacroSystems a way to sell video-HW
without having to do a mayor redisgn, and without having to rely on
discontinued C=-HW.

As such it reached it goal, atleast for some time.

One might also argue that it helped slowing down the decay of the
Amiga-community.

But it never was suitable way of getting Amiga back into full life.


@saimo

I would say cutting out that part was more than fair, since it's more
your own personal opinion instead of factual discussion.

One could answer with a similar paragraph featuring McBill, Barry,
Alan or Ben, heck even the Friedens could qualify.....

But what would it bring other then yet another flamefest ?

Would it change anything in regard of the impossibilties of getting a
licence (specially when it's for HW made by Genesi) ?

Would it change anything bout the lack of (decent) HW OS4 has suffered
from eversince 2001 ??
