A2200.. nice article on The Crypt

  As I recall some of the prototype boards sold on Ebay a few months back through Censitble Software.
I always wanted a Pizza box style Amiga with a flicker fixer/scan doubler and EC 030/40Mzh and an HD or LS-120 disk drive and used to bug my Commodore rep and a few C= reps about having that in the early 90's not knowing they would soon be out of business.  Of course the LS-120 was being called the SuperDisk at 3M/Imation at that time and was not really public knowledge and David Haynie was trying to transition the Amiga to commodity parts at that time.  I also desparately wanted the sound functions separated from the old Paula design (forgot which custom chip did this in AGA) to improve serial performance.  The 2200 was an answer to several things I dreamed of for the Amiga and when I tried to look in to it, people told me it was a bunch of Commodore Canada folks who had broken off and gone on their own knowing that C= was doomed to go under with no hope of recovery.  Ok, that is my bit...
 :-o

   Oh yeah, like many die hard Amiga fans at the time I was very close to putting money down and so glad I did n't.

  Well, I can say that KS 3.1 was completed for CD32, some Amiga 1200's, and of course the handfull of 4000T's made by Commodore (pre Escom).  The A2200's were sold basically as developer boards only and not as fully working units well after C='s demise.   :-D

  It was definately not an official C= product at all, to the best of my knowledge the 2200 was not based on any official C= product but did draw alot from the A1400 proposal, but David H. never had any hand in this product.  Now, in the Escom era we did see that Walker project that did provide some of the features of the 2000 sans case style, and it had the never publicly released Kickstart 3.2 which was 3.1 in 1 1mb rom rather than 2 512k plus better cdfs and IDE handling as well as a fix for ffs to support larger hd partitions, some other minor fixes such as improved Setpatch and support for a new custom chip whose name escapes me right now was included as well..  Outside of the asthetics of the case I was really hoping that an Amiga with Walker specs. would come out.  Well, hope and wishfull thinking is the daily bread of we few proud Amiga owners.   :-D
