Damn that's sweet.

I remember that INFO magazine had articles about the C900. (Not to be confused with INFO World). INFO was the first magazine entirely produced with computers.  Real DTP while the Mac fanatics were faking a lot of it.

Pullquote:  Unlike the other custom chips which were christened with women's monikers, the Agnus chip is not a corruption of the name Agnes (as I had previously thought), but rather, according to Jim Williams, Jay Miner named it Agnus from the Latin expression agnus dei ('lamb of God').

Hence Agnus means "Lamb".  Now you know the truth.

The ebay ad is in some gibberish language.  I can't get an translation.

Strangely when you go to ebay.com and search for Commodore C900 the auction doesn't come up.  Anybody know why?
