There is an interesting documentary on this on (I think) the bonus disk from Amiga Forever.
As we all know the Amiga was not designed by C= at all, at least not the A1000 which started it all. Jay Miner and his team, designing the Amiga, came in financial troubles and signed a contract with Atari loaning them money.
If they didn't repay their debt by a certain date the company would fall in Atari's hands. (including the Amiga, ofcourse). The company BTW was worth a lot more then what Atari had paid. Last minute Jay signed a contract with C= who paid the money jay owned Atari, getting the (c) for the Amiga....
So, to make a long story short: Tramiel almost owned the (c)...
