I too always that the C65 was a neat computer. However, I never understood where Commodore was going with it. It was not 100% compatible with the C64, it sort of competed with the lower-end Amiga's (A600 for example), and it was a dead end platform with no ability to really expand it.
The Amiga could have more memory and faster CPUs so it made sense as an investment. I'm not sure how you justify that with the C65.
I guess I always felt the C65 was an example of Commodore's internal turmoil of no direction. Where do we go from here? Beating the 8 bit line to death isn't going to gather you the profits that the C64 had in it's prime.
Interesting computer but not sure where it fit into the industry at the time...
