if thats true, it may finally silence everybody boldly claiming amiga was or was going to be ppc truly and officially.


Do we really care what Commodore intended to do as their slow development and limited investment killed the system?

The community moved forward with PPCs.
Escom would have gone in that direction.

Arguing about a dead HP ISA is pointless.

If you don't like PPCs you're free to continue to use legacy equipment or mainstream PCs.
I have Win7 and Win 10 systems, but they don't substitute for my NG hardware.

commodore let it fade away, but third parties insistance on ppc was the final blow that actually killed away what was was left of it.;)


Not...quite...yet, but Hyperion might mange it eventually.
And I am ambivalent to specific ISAs.
68K is dead, we moved to PPCs, we can moved again.

Its you flat earthers that were the actual final blow.
So go play your old 2D games and blow.

I think the Tabor 1222 would be ideal for you, I will most likely get one.


For Blake? Doubtful.
Unfortunately even Haynie has this one figured out by now, if some of us haven't.

Tabor introduces a crippled CPU when better processors are available.

At this point moving to X64 seems the best course.

@thread

since there was such an interest in the commodore planning document we have been discussing, i contacted hyperion entertainment directly via email and requested permission to publish this document for those interested and am pleased to report back that permission has been granted. you can have a read-through here:

a big thank you to the hyperion directors for taking the time to review the document and allow its publication for historical purposes. :)

Neat.
A quick snapshot from the edge of doom.
For once I am in Hyperion's debt.
