Sorry to jump in on your thread but I wanted to get in my 2 cents worth.
It seems to me that it is time for CBM to face reality: virtually all of
the new machines will be going to consumers that *already* own CBM
computers. All this talk of positioning the 600/1200 so as to exapand the
market seems kind of silly to me – Commodore should be positioning the
machines so as to entice as many amiga owners as possible to upgrade! And
adding a scsi interface would be a natural part of this strategy.
I believe that the problem stems from the fact that ina way, Commodore
doesn't have any competition. They are the only company that makes amigas,
and amigas are the only computers that do the kind of things they do for
the money. So the only way the consumer can get what it wants from
Commodore is to yell, scream, and complain as much as possible! In the end
the consumer always wins – Commodore has to come up with an attrative and
enticing product that will allow me to use as much of my existing equipment
as possible, or I won'y buy it.
