Now, why would anyone want to use PCI when a fully 100% custom built AutoConfig interface is available. It`s madness. All that talk about "What is an Amiga?" well that question has taken on a whole new meaning. Amiga is ABANDONING it`s old virtues that made it different and now we are supporting the PC. It would appear that we have all accepted defeat and are going away with our tails between our legs, and a PCI card. The only viable argument is that PCI cards are cheaper. That`s true, but Amiga peripherals have always been more expensive than their inferior PC counterparts (and even then they COULD be made cheaper if Amiga developers weren`t tight bastards). I for one would sooner have a official Amiga AutoConfig 100% supported (no hacks!) board compared to a buggy as hell hack board, using the enemy devices. As for using a graphics card, new PCs dont even use the PCI port for this!! And Zorro 3 is more than capable for all other devices (serial, audio, ethernet) etc. So would someone please convince me that PCI is better, because I cant understand how it could possibly be.
