CatHerder:
Interesting Read, However, according to
Rainer Benda (german only) who worked for Commodore back that time, the Amiga 2200 had indeed at least its origin from a planned Commodore machine.
To be more precise, the A2200 should have been a variant of what later "just" became the A4000, one out of four planned Versions:
A3200 with 020 and AA
A3400 with 030 and AA
the other two should have been cheaper ECS!! machines,named
A2200 with 020 and ECS
A2400 with 030 and ECS
well, except the A3400 which became then the A4000, everything else was dropped (thanks god)
btw, if you look at the
3630 CPU Card , you will notice at least one sign that the above is correct, you will find "68020/030 BOARD REV 1.0 A3200/A3400" printed on it.
AFAIK no Prototype of the Commodore A2200 or 2400 where ever made.
