How dead is it?
Tim:
Nobody bought it? Did anyone really have a chance? Did Commodore do
anything to make their Unix implementation special? The answer to both of
these questions is a big NO. If Commodore had made something about their
Unix machine different, offered something that wasn't currently out there
rather than making 'just another SVR4 machine' they might have sold more.
Also, if they had tried selling it for a while, really tried, they might
have sold more machines. If their Unix ran concurrently with AmigaDOS, and
there was a good way to communicate between them (like there was supposed
to be with the Bridgeboards) then they might have had something to
market.
AmigaUnix was just another screwup in a long list of screwups that
Commodore has made. It's amazing how a company with such a good R&D
department can have such a horrible marketing dept.
