- cmrdporcupine 8y agoDifferent Atari tho. Atari Inc (that made the A8 machines you link to here) and Atari Corp were two different companies. The latter headed by Jack Tramiel with a few assets purchased from the former.
- walkingolof 8y agoThose assets included the A400/800, which was designed by Jay Miner, same guy that went on designing the Amiga that Commodore bought
- cmrdporcupine 8y agoYeah and those assets also potentially included rights to the Amiga Loraine IP itself, depending on who you talk to. Hence the lawsuit that ensued.
