Autoconfig has a wider meaning than this Amiga one. Any system that attempts to automatically configure a system on a computer may be called an autoconfig (eg the joke version xkcd 416)Zeimusu | Talk page13:32, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
TheWikipedia:Typo Team/moss spell checker has found a possible typo that a copyeditor needs help to resolve. Ifarbited is misspelled, it can just be corrected in this article. Ifarbited is a legitimate word, it should be added to the English Wiktionary (which defines words in all languages) with a definition atwikt:arbited. Feel free to leave a note in this section if you do one of those things, or if you can provide any hints about this word. Thanks! --Elfabet (talk)12:54, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
1. Why is it compared to PCI? Surely we only need to know the facts of its implication, not a blow-by-blow product comparison?2. Uses unsupported and vague claims which imply non-neutral position, eg: "Autoconfig is much simpler, yet provides the same basic functions". Is it simpler? How? Why should we care? We're not shown it's simpler, nor how this remark has relevance.3. Re: "PCI allows random access to the configuration space of devices, which requires system registers and I/O lines". So? It's an article about Autoconfig, not PCI. Why are we being told this about PCI? What relevance does it have? Re: "Autoconfig requires no such system hardware". So? It reads like a competitive product comparison, not a neutral factual article about the one topic.
People viewing Wikipedia pages have to be careful about fan and evangelist edits, especially in regards to entries regarding the Commodore Amiga whose fans have a beef with the rest of the computer industry about the failure of the platform which has endured in online flame wars for decades. I recommend apparent fan and enthusiast edits, such as those found in this computing page and others, are removed.Vapourmile (talk)23:32, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
