For starters, no 060.  That was too expensive in the day...


Agreed.  I would have told them for the 060 model, to save their money and push the AAA on to a PCI, have WB 3.1 ported to x86 and used the C= PCs (with PCI slots) that had a slightly slower 486 that were not selling well plus create a Window's driver for the AAA so money can be made selling it to the Windows world.  That just might have saved C= from going under.

Yes, old games and apps would not run, but if a few decent games were then ported to x86 Amiga, I doubt there would have been too much of an uproar.  When the Amiga lost new game production, it was over.
