'Chicken or egg', indeed! How come the machine name/numbers are so out of whack? I'm going back for more reading. Thanks for the link...

I think he's asking; what didn't it go: A500, A600, A1000, A1200, A1500, A2000, A3000, A4000.

In a word, marketing :-D

:getmad:


Marketing. Another area where venerable Commodore eventually started to lose it. Sad!

Very interesting, and confusing!

It makes more sense, when you treat the A1500, A2000, A3000 and the A4000 as a separate line of machines to the A500(+), A600 and the A1200.

The x000's were the high end machines for rich people the x00's were the low end machines for people like us.

The "Commodore Amiga" was the first and was retro activly named the A1000 with the Release of the A2000 and A500.

A1500 isn't a real model number, they were just rebadged A2000's for sale in the UK.

-Edit- Also note that the A600 was supped to be called the A300, and it still had A300 on it's motherboard.
