No, you are thinking of the Atari Lynx.
Yes I thought that ex-Amiga engineers were part of the development teams of the Atari Lynx, Falcon and Jaguar.


RJ Mical and Dave Needle from the original Amiga design team worked on the Lynx... the Lynx dev platform was an Amiga too... the Falcon and Jaguar were not Amiga related.
