- flohofwoe 3y agoTiming could be about right though, IIRC Escom only got involved when the Amiga was already on its deathbed. They bought what was left of Commodore in 1995 and actually continued building and selling A4000 and A1200 throughout 1995, just not as much as they hoped. Eventually they sold the Amiga business again and went bankrupt in 1996 (here's an old news blurb in German from 1996 I just found: https://www.channelpartner.de/a/escom-ag,600999 https://www.channelpartner.de/a/escom-ag,600999). (myself, I actually continued using my Amiga 3000 as my main computer until around 1998, despite also doing programming work on a PC with WinNT4 and testing on Win95 - mainly DirectX stuff)
- mattl 3y agoYeah it was a Commodore branded Pentium 60, bought maybe 8 weeks or so before they went bankrupt.
- mattl 3y agoNo, a Pentium 60. This was spring 1996 not long before Escom went bankrupt.
- olddustytrail 3y agoWow. Hadn't realised Amiga had clung on that long!
