That's it!

What I'd like to know is if the ESCOM manufactured A1200s (subcontractor solectron???) was based on Commodore made AGA chipsets or if (solectron?) had the plans to make AGA chips???

They had plans to make them I believe.  I remember a big statement by Bill McEwan that they'd finally gotten rid of the chip masks from Escom, so that there would be no more AGA chips.  (really stupid IMHO, considering how expensive a chip mask is)

I remember reading that either C= in the last months or it could even been Escom, it was that long ago, got AGA into one chip.

In an interview with Dr. Hepler, they discussed the single-chip AGA design a bit.  Essentially they were going to put AGA and a 68k core onto a single chip for laptops.  But that project faded away with the shift ot Hombre.
