When IBM came to Microsoft for an operating system, Bill Gates offered Xenix and
tried to get IBM to change the hardware design to use the 68000 processor instead of
the Intel 8088.
With the Z-machine project in between teams, Bob Russell decided to
re-evaluate the current motherboard designed by Shiraz Shivji. “The first
motherboard wasn’t very well-designed,” says Welland.
Russell decided the problem was due to inexperience with the Z8000 chip
itself. Commodore had no engineers with Z8000 experience, so he decided
to bring in a consultant named George Robbins to redesign the board. “We
ended up bringing in a Z8000 expert and he redesigned the motherboard,”
says Bob Welland. “He made a huge contribution. Basically he came in
with a new motherboard design.”
Unofficially called the Z-machine, Commodore chose a new name for
the Unix machine. “Commodore marketing had decided that their com-
puter was going to be the Commodore 900,” says Dave Haynie.

Dziwne jest to, że Commodore przejęło firmę Jaya w momencie, gdy Amiga w zasadzie była już gotowa, przynajmniej w sporej części. Przez lata działalności Commodore już żadnego skoku technologicznego nie zaliczyło, przez lata rozwój Amigi to raczej mozolne udoskonalanie, nic na miarę tego co HiToro zrobiło tworząc prototyp. Na co oni tyle kasy rozwalili?
