I think you're supposed to offer gifts not ask for them on someone's birthday! ;)
I know he worked on Commodore 264 and 128 stuff, apart from AAA/Hombre/AGA what else did Haynie work on at Commodore?
-
Tons of stuff, most of the 3000, he was one of the main engineers at commodore.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Haynie just check the commodore years.
-
I believe he also worked on the redesign of the 2000, his name is on the mobo:

AFAIK the 2000B was the first Amiga thing he worked on (redesigning the 2000A with A500's chipset). Just imagine the progress he made in two short years 88-90!

from wik:
He started work at Commodore in 1983 as an engineer under Bil Herd. His first project was to help complete the TED systems comprising Plus/4, C16 and more. After completing the Commodore 128 Bil Herd left the company and Dave Haynie was promoted to chief engineer in the low-end group. After Commodore acquired Amiga, Dave Haynie ended up primary engineer on the expandable A2000 computer. Later, he joined Bob Welland on the A2620 CPU module, and launched the follow-up A2630 the year thereafter. These were delivered in the A2500/20 (1989) and A2500/30 (1989).[citation needed]
In 1989 he started designing the Zorro III expansion bus architecture, and in 1990, with Greg Berlin, Hedley Davis, Jeff Boyer, and Scott Hood, created the Amiga 3000.[citation needed]
On completing the A3000 he was transferred to advanced projects, working with Bob Raible on the "AA" system (formerly "Pandora"), Commodore's first full 24-bit color computer technology, which led to the A3000+ prototype, and ultimately to A4000 and A1200 computers,
he started back in '83 and worked on:
plus/4,
c16,
c128,
a2000,
a2620,
2500/20,
a2500/30,
a3000,
a3000+,
a4000,
a1200,
andAAA
so he started in '83 left in '94 and worked on many of the computers commodore made,
pretty talented guy!

In the words of Dave Haynie
'I'm Dave Haynie. I worked at Commodore 11.5 years, first on some of the 8-bit Commodore systems like the C128, then on the Amiga. I was on the A500 for about a month, then took over the A2000. I worked on both A2500 models (the accelerator cards), I designed the Zorro III bus and bits of the A3000, I did the first AA and AAA prototype systems, etc. and so forth.'

The next time you have your Amiga open, look for Dave's name etched on its motherboard!
"You're lucky if you can find even one thing in a
lifetime that inspires you to push beyond the
accepted, to fight the established, to run the
razor's edge and discover your limits are only
what you make them. But if you ever do find
such a thing, dig your teeth into that sucker like
you're a pit bull and hang on as long as you can."
- Dave Haynie
... If your still around Dave then give us the nod and I'll send you a pint... of old barrell batteries :-)
