I nave had some contact with people from Amiga Inc over
Usenet and get information from some of the Amiga journos
but that is pretty much it. The problem is NDA's. They can't
talk about much and what they do mention is in riddles.

They've appointed a new manager and combined the two
companies to a large extent. I can't remember his exact
name at the moment. Check out www.amiga.com for the recent
announcement.

In a lot of cases Commodore shipped prototype machines to
various maufacturers. I believe they used Sun systems to
develop the original AmigaOS.

Well, the CD32 was really aimed at the console market. The
CDTV was aimed at what would become known as the set-top
market but it was a few years too early.
