Atari vs Commodore which one was stupider.

but then did Sega want to do an 'Amiga Killer'?

its my limited understanding that Sega used Amigas for Genesis/megadrive development work.

The Sega dev kit being a hardware dongle that plugged into the sideport of the A500, and allowed programming of cartridge eproms, and running stuff.

quite if it allowed you to run say, sonic the hedgehog on an A500 i wouldn't know... ;-)

i think commodores biggest mistake was not pushing the a3000ux amiga could have been were every unix and linux system and server is right now. but commodore screwed up big time, and never followed up

yeah, i think there was another point where some big company was looking at Workbench2 and the 3000/UX, as it was the only true 32bit pre-emptive yadda yadda yadda operating system on the scene at the time, and offered big $$$ to commodore to license it and the hardware. commodore turned them down basicly by slamming the door in their face, so they had to carry on releasing their unix systems with HP/UX, and their workstation systems had to run something call windows NT3.51....

ok cool. i was just under the impression, that when DEC were looking for an operating system and they saw amigaOS release 2. then asked to license it for their system. they would have paid for it and developed it for the alpha chip in house. done a little looking and i don't think it releated to AmigaUX just release 2 for a A3000...

i didn't know about the dealer network either.
sorry if i get a little muddled, but i'm trying to remember from a long time ago with no reference documentation to read up on..

one of those, what might have been.

wish some of my schools got amigas. all we had were RM nimbuses 80/186 running "lemons" or "trains". bleh :-(
