Amiga Manufacturing Locations

[dandelion]

Hi all..

I know that Amiga development went on at the West Chester site in the US, and that's where Dave Haynie was employed. I've seen DBV and know they were manufactured there as well. My question is, what other development and manufacturing locations were there?

I believe there was a German manufacturing site, did any development go on there as well as simply building Miggys? Also, my first 1200 was built in the Philipines - were all 1200s and 600s built there?

Finally, is there a particularly desirable site to own an Amiga from? I.e. rarity, build quality etc.

Just interested!

Ah! Now THAT'S interesting. As someone hailing from the UK I wouldn't mind a British built machine Quickly looking at the linked website it seems that it was operational until 1994. Does anyone know exactly what machines it produced? Also, does anyone know where abouts in Scotland it was located? Could take a few piccies for the archives!
(which reminds me, I should get down to the C= UK offices in maidenhead, if the building's still there).

Further interest in the Scottish machines...does anyone own one and what identifiers are printed on the underside? Any nice "Made In the UK" or "Made in Scotland" badges?

This just gets more and more fascinating! I live about 10 miles from Eaglescliffe (pronounced Eggles-cliff) in County Durham. If I can track down the address i'll see if I can find it one weekend and post some piccies.
