Amiga 1300[What ifs]

[psxphill]

PS1 and Saturn are red herrings, if you needed a computer you still needed a computer so they make no difference.

 
Not everyone who owned an amiga needed a computer. There were alot of people who only ever saw workbench when they ran xcopy.
 

A2200 looks like a nice machine, and would have launched at the same time as the A1200?

It says Kickstart 3.1, so it would have been later.
There were loads of people trying to sell a1200 motherboards in PC cases in the UK. I was even tempted to buy a micronik tower back in the day.

Well if you read the accounts from people like Haynie it appears the 3000 was originally supposed to be the 4000, with a DSP. That means AGA chipset on an 030 back in thereabouts of 1990 unless I have read the accounts wron

It was the a3000+ & a3000aa that were originally going to be released instead of the a4000.

While cancelling slowed down production, it would probably still have come out sometime in 1992.
 
The major problem was that commodore was all about doing things on the cheap, they always milked their designs. But in the 90's there was more money around and people were prepared to pay alot more for quality. ECS & AGA were both too late to the party.
 
To succeed commodore would have had to produce a better chipset than AGA earlier than they produced AGA.
 
AA+ in 1990/91 or hombre in 1992 might have stopped the high end leaving for the PC. Hombre in 1993 might have stopped the low end going to the playstation.

By 1994 commodore couldn't even afford to make CD32's.
