You may want to read up a bit on the early Amiga history.
- Jay Miner (the mastermind behind the Amiga HW) was working for Atari before, no surprise the chips are so similar
- When Amiga had financial problems Atari gave them a loan
- Atari tried acquire Amiga with some shaddy methods
- At the last minute C= came in, bought Amiga and paid the Atari-loan
- Atari had some ex C= guys working on the ST
- Atari sued Amiga/C= over a contract Amiga had signed with to get that loan
- Verdict was that C= had to give Atari access to some chip design
- Those design where then used for the STe, the closest think you'll ever find to a Atari made Amiga clone _________________ - We don't need good ideas, we haven't run out on bad ones yet - blame Canada |
