The new company that the former CEO of Commodore had founded knew it was DOOMED because it didn’t have 4 long years of 22 hour days to recreate the chipset. The Chairman of Commodore objected and completed the purchase of Amiga Inc. The CEO of 40 yers quit and tried to buy Amiga Inc. 40 year old Commodore Business Machines moved in to buy it, but before it could happen, a fight broke out between the CEO and the Chairman who had just gained control of the company. After years of baking, the Amiga appeared. had formed (with Jay Miner, Dale Luck, RJ Michael and others) to do just that.
Why? Back in those days, it took 4 years to fabricate a new chip. It is the AtariST (and later) that I despise as filth.
Balogh, I do praise the Atari 400/800 which were among Jay Miner’s final custom chips efforts before turning to the gorgeous Amiga.
