Your original post suggests that the problem is the slow speed of the CPU. This certainly makes Flash almost useless on a "real" Amiga.

Memory is not a problem on Amithlon. Why are you talking about "slower machines" again? An Amithlon setup can be a great deal faster than an AmigaOne or a Pegasos. Obviously if the authors want to make Voyager MorphOS-only they are free to do so. That is what I am expecting. Regards -- Don Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED]
