I assume that was directed to me...

I am suggesting that in 1987, when the A2K and the A500 were released. If Commodore had also put out a Multimedia ISA board, that would have been a great way to start a PC standard multimedia platform... in 87, most peolle would still have wanted an A500 for games... but if the PC world had access to identical spec gfx/audio as the Amiga... game developers would have had an easy time porting games over from the Amiga and the ST... so they would support it... thus if the market that the A500 and the ST were aimed at ever went titz up... Commodore would still have had a revenue stream...


If they did that them sure, Commodore would still be here.
But the Amiga platform would have died a lot earlier and sped up the process of PC migration.
