Ah HA, you fell into the trap, you poor, uneducated Atari user!! For after
all, how many video businesses do YOU see using the CM or YMP??? HMMM????

Not only that, but you can't play BLAZEMONGER on them, and you can't even
get interlaced video!!  In the case of the YMP, it DOESN'T EVEN MULTITASK
*or* have a blitter or copper to do the mega-cool pirate demos on!!  (Sure
the CM can do a number of things simultaneously, but guess what?  YOU HAVE
TO USE A SEPERATE PROCESSOR FOR EACH ONE!!!!!!!!!)

But never fear, you can use a cool Amiga 3000 as a front end for either one
(or more accurately, you can use either machine as an accelerator card for
the Amiga).  That way you can play BLAZEMONGER *AND* toast video *AND* get
multi-mega-flops!!

(Not at the same time, but....)

ONLY AMIGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
