What I want to know is where are the chipset designs ? Who would have them ? West Chester or los gatos ? or somewhere ?
What I cannot understand is why C< UK closed, when they were selling 'A1200's like hot cakes'. - and it was I remember.
Then C< UK management reverse their 3M bid - because they thought it was too low ( they could have won the bid as the only valid bid!)
PS - I think it was 3M :-)
anyway. clueless.
Yes it is sad, Commodore UK could have made the Amiga a success and it would probably still be around today, instead we got Escom who were pretty clueless, Gateway who never really gave a shit, then the worst scurge to affect the Amiga ever, Amiga Inc who are just evil.
What a sad, wasted opportunity. With CUK the Amiga development would have been moved to Europe, where the Amiga was really adopted and it could still be a mainstream, viable platform today, such a crying shame.
Personally I feel Bill McEwan is the person who was the worst ever for the Amiga though, Amiga Inc really killed the Amiga, it could have survived post-CBM with the right team, but Bill and AINC just hammered nail after nail into the coffin and did everything possible to kill it, who knows why. But AINC were the worst thing to ever happen to the Amiga, they really killed it off.
