The Amiga 2000 series had ISA slots and IBM bridgecards to run DOS and Windows on the Amiga.
Commodore also had the PC Colt series PC compatible systems cheaper than IBM and Compaq etc.
The Commodore name and reputation of selling C64s in toy stores made businesses not see the Amiga seriously.
There also was that Amax Mac emulator for the Amiga as it used the same CPU as the Mac.
But all people could see was the AV part not the other parts.
- icedchai 8y agoDon't forget Commodore's marketing was so terrible, they were lucky if anyone saw the Amiga at all! The only reason I knew about was a fellow BBSer convinced me it was a much better deal than anything Apple was producing at the time.
- orionblastar 8y agoCommodore nickle and dimed marketing in the USA. Computer stores blackballed Commodore products because the VIC20 and C64 sold in toy stores.
