Amiga alone would have never worked without the backing of a company such as CBM as they lacked the resources or cash to mass produce their product/s.


Commodore would have been more successful with the Amiga line if they

> Limited the A500 to the 512k thin Agnus and a memory slot such as the one featured on the A600. No side expansion slot.
   (Would have forced serious buyers to purchase A2000)
> Provided a faster processor to the base A2000
   (68020 minimum)
> Reduced the chip count with ECS
   (Merge CIAs and other custom chips)
> Updated Paula with AGA even if only to provide support for full speed HD floppies
   (Would have saved C= a lot in floppy disks and purchasing custom half spin HD Floppy drives)
