its like wishing you could go back in time, and give the engineering team (not commodore) a shed load of 020's for A500/2000's at todays prices, 030's and simm slots for A1200s, 040/060's for A4000's with PPC upgrades available.... and PCI instead of ISA in the A4000 range. nothing super fantasitcly out of the imagination like the AAA chipset, just things that should have been done at the time (that management probably throttled) as most people know, the A3000U was for a little while the only 32bit machine out there that could handle multasking, and shipped with a version of Unix. HP and a few other vendors were interested, and asked commodore for the access rights to the kernal, and rom to be able to develope software (OS's, Apps) and hardware (PA risc chips etc.) as the architecture was open enuff (with managements consent) to be able to add things like non 680x0 processors and stuff (re cyberstormPPC / G3 / blah blah blah) and management told them to get stuffed. so i blame management for not wanting to realise what kind of product they had, and wanting to ship PC's instead.
i mean, how many pc vendors pop up and dissappear in the course of a year down your local highstreet?
