I thought Escom didn’t acquire the Commodore brand assets at all—just the Amiga ones. Didn’t “Commodore” (i.e., PC stuff) go to someone else? Or did Escom just sell it off almost immediately? Or was that post-Escom? Gah, I can’t remember the complexity anymore. What a mess this all was is.

Thanks for the history lesson :). I think a lot of the English-language press missed those details at the time. I never knew Escom had a Dutch division. I suppose that’s how Tulip came into the picture as well?

I guess people weren't exactly lining up to buy regular PCs just because they were featuring a Chickenhead logo.

A lesson that the original Commodore learned in 1993/1994 and one that all of the successive trademark owners/pretenders since then have still not learned to this day! :)
