Hmmmm funny thing is this machine is probably actually closer to release than the A1000x, because as unbelievable as it seems Karma (who produce these cases for the pictured C=USA A1000,2000 etc proposed Amiga models) have no record of any such contact from anyone at C=USA. Not that it matters, their A1000 page is mostly broken and a cut n paste job of the text from the Karma website.....no surprise there then eh?

Interestingly I was told that 'someone' has discussed time scales and costs of their cases produced in bespoke white or silver or how to do this via 3rd paties and a deal is not far off potentially should they wish.

So .....

1. now which is the company which is hosting a page of bull**** and which company prolly has a working prototype they may finish?

2. would anyone here buy one anyway? not your thing is it if not PPC/FPGA based?

3. oh and also tell C=USA black<>A1000 colour but they think VIC=black

How do I know all this? I've worked with Karma on unrelated projects not long ago on behalf of some clients and so telephoned them before leaving work.....their number is not available on their contact page by the way

Because if C64x is news and future fake Comodore USA stuff will be news then so is this. All are equal, if this goes all C=USA stuff goes too then. Simple

Given that they've gone to the trouble of making (expensive) custom moulds for the C64 case and keyboard, etc, I would expect them to be doing the same for any future Amiga model, and the current imagery is simply using an off the shelf case for conceptual reasons.

Except the Commodore USA stuff does actually look to be going somewhere, they've put some serious money down so far.

It just seems some people are afraid that a company may be using the Commodore name and not being a total failure at marketing! It's such an alien notion that they're running, screaming! :-)
