So far as I understand it a lot of the C= A1200 and A600 were 3rd party manufactured in Irvine, Scotland.


I never knew that they were made in Irvine.
Amiga 4000, Warp Engine 040/40MHz, CV643D with scan doubler module, Tocatta soundcard, Deneb, 72Meg fast ram, 18 gig scsi hard drive.

3xA500, 1xA1200, 1xCD32

I'm not 100% certain it was Irvine, but pretty sure it was one of the "new towns".  Some absolutely were manufactured in Scotland though, so the point stands.

Actually, the A600 page on wikipedia confirms that the A600 was manufactured in Irvine.  I'm sure I read it first on a thread on amiga.org though.

Back in '94, Commodore UK seemed to be all about shipping that CD drive for A1200 that would allow A1200 to play CD32 game titles. In general it has always seemed to be "over focus" on games in the UK, while in Germany there was alot more focus on utility and productivity.
