Default PowerPC DraCo?
Could it be that next year appears something like PowerPC DraCo? A video editing Amiga version?!!!

From a very old interview of MacroSystems:

You know, the AmigaOS... translating it over to some other processor is really the biggest job. So, doing a PowerPC DraCo would not take a long time, only a few months. So, if we see that this is coming along, yes, there will be such a DraCo.


It would be cool to have an Amiga Cube :-D
