It a shame commodore went under in 1994, one would think they could keep it going with all the machines they sold over the years. but i think they made some bad choices. The amiga cd32 was a good console, but i think they should have shipped it with 040 cpu and 4 mb ram, so it could compete with the new pc and playstation. it was a time where 3d games took of

No way they could've used 040 in a console in 1993. 020 was good for a console but they should've used 1 MB Fast RAM instead of Akiko. Remember that Playstation was released more than one year later than CD32. You should compare CD32 to SNES, MegaDrive, PC CDROM and CDi.

CDTV and A600 shouldn't have been released at all, with a extended availability of the A500 Plus 6-12 months longer.

A1200 should have been configurable to 2 MB chip or 1 MB chip and 1 MB fast (expandable to 2 MB chip and 4 MB fast).

I agree that A3000 was released when Commodore/Amiga peaked.

Interestingly there's also support for the 68020 on A4000 motherboards, which shows just how little idea Commodore had about what to do with the machine.

Doesn't change the fact it rocks though. :)

I guess the plan was to have a really cheap 020-based A4000 (or a big box A1200, maybe called A1400 if you want) but as the A4000 was based on A3000 (which used 030) they lately discovered how much changes they would have to do on the cpu card and/or motherboard.
