I have just heard of the incredibly sad passing this week of a legend in Commodore / Amiga lore. Hedley Davis who worked on many products at Commodore including the 1351 mouse, Amiga 3000 & 4000, A2024 "Hedley High Res" monitor, the SX-500 Prototype as well as contributing to chips like Ramsey and Akiko.

I was fortunate to spend time with Hedley at the Amiga 040th event at VCF West last year as well as chat with him at RJ and Caryn Mical's house after. Such a great guy who was only too happy to share his stories with us Amiga fans. Only 68, his passing has floored me. I send my condolences to his family and friends at this sad time.

The Hedley Davis memorial disk drive truly is a memorial now.
