This was interesting... I finally found out the name of the guy with the CD1200 on the bonnet of his car and discovered one heck of a story... I assume its the same guy.
I guess some of you know all about this story. Its the comments from the case that take you all the way to AROS. My goodness, and all I was trying to find out is if this guy may still have the CD1200 and if he would sell it. Probably want $300 000 for it...
Who is Ryan E. A. Czerwinski and what did he do to Nova Design?

Never heard of any of this before, but somehow ended up here....

Isn't this the kid that chumped David Haynie?
-
I read that in one of the posts on the link that Scuzz posted. How exactly did Haynie get screwed?

No money payed I think. Just promises of a bright future.

Reading the comments the one that made me giggle was...
"We went to go get it. The warehouse was empty. Pallets and pallets of our product had been stolen"
lol Amiga Inc deserved that.
........... As many of the comments suggested this should be made into a book. This is what Haynie said about Merlancia...
'Merlancia, again, is a fraud, there is no MCC. If they ever manage to sell anything, it’ll be a Pegasos or some other PCB in their casework (they buy the cases from established vendors, they don’t even make those). '
This guy has an A4000T original image in The Big Book of Amiga Hardware. The CD1200 was a link from that site and his car featured in the images from the court case is the car with the CD1200 sitting on it... Amazing story. Well worth a read. I know most probably know all about this but for those like me reading it for the first time it adds a whole new dimension to the goings on post Commodore.

A long sad slow motion train wreck with unqualified nerfs at the controls and droves of enthusiactic fans cheering them on. At least we did for a short while before realizing it truely was a train wreck we were watching. Personally it took me until about late 2001 own the fact that the emporer had no clothes. Some realised sooner, some later that I.
I also agree that the twisted story line is far more intriguing than that Gates/Jobs thing. :)

Yeah he took it upon himself to 'relieve' Amiga Inc of some of their stock as he decided that he was entitled to it because of a $100k loan he made to Amiga Inc that they never repaid, so he broke into their warehouse and took their stock as payment. Ryan was actually in the Amiwest audience listening to Bill make that speech about the stolen stock and bounced cheques. I found the whole saga hilarious and incredible at the same time.
