I bloody well knew it - Brian Bagnell wants yet more time and more money

[Iggy]

Jesus don't mention Atari to Bagnell, he will extend the book to include that bloody story too....

In a way, Atari and the ST are involved.
Considering who pushed Atari to develop the ST, and who was behind the development of the Lorraine chipset (and where he came from).

Its a weird, convoluted part of the evolution of the platform (and 68K machines in general).

And, IF we wanted to thoroughly throw Brian off track, we could mention the Australian OS-9 port, alternative 68K systems (outside of the Mac), etc... :roflmao:

Atari were too big and corporate & not really "rockstar" types. Bil Herd and Dave Haynie are responsible for most of the commodore stories. If you are a reporter, you'll go after the people who are easy to find and want to talk.



It was only really at the Amiga 30th anniversary when people and hardware came out of the woodwork. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXKcMFoRsN4, more and more people coming forward is a huge problem for Brian.

Apple have done ok https://www.folklore.org/, but I'm sure there are plenty of other stories from there.

"Bil Herd and Dave Haynie" as "rockstar(s)".
OMFG! That IS hilarious. And yet you want to dismiss Atari, which is where the primary designer for the Amiga originally worked.

Frankly, I'm SO damned tired of hearing about these two.
Herd, the guy that grafted a Z-80 to the C64, and gave birth to the C128.
And Haynie, the "I did it single handedly (even if most of it never saw the light of day)", guy.

YOUR heroes, not mine.
