And that's not true that he made no attempt, that's one of the things I showed in the presentation were internal emails Curt has regarding plans for a full expanded line of XL computers he and Shiraz mapped out. This was in early August of '84. These included expanding the XL models to include models with 3.5" disc drives, the AMY sound chip, and more. Quote:

Funny though that these whole new stories are revealed from two atarians! (please note the sarcasm here, no offence meant) Last edited by lucadip; 12 October 2009 at 22:17. Reason: removed wrong reference to Tramiel |

This is very interesting, thank you for all the investigating you've done so far!
I can't get enough of Amiga and Commodore history, so you have one eager reader right here. :-) |

Hi,
Didn't want everyone to think Marty and I were pulling your legs on the Amiga History revealed project we've been working on. Actually several new things have come to light further expanding the overall story of the 3 timelines (Atari/Amiga/Commodore) and we need further time to digest all of the data, plus another 577 pages of court documents have arrived and a lot of it is under oath testimonies of Morse, Smith, Tramiel and others so this is going to take a bit to sort through, fully understand some of the new implications that have come to light to properly and accurately present this history. So while we wade through all of this information, here is another tid-bit to share with one and all... http://www.atarimuseum.com/computers...07MAR84-wm.jpg Curt |

The myth was the mis-statements that had been made for years that Jack Tramiel was aware of Amiga's financial woes and was trying to buy Amiga for .80 cents a share...
Never happened, the deals between Amiga and Atari started back in late 1983 and were fully into it by spring of 84' where Atari advanced Amiga $500,000 against the initial $3million Amiga would receive from Atari for the license of the Amiga chipset in its game console system which could then have a keyboard upgrade in 1985 added on. The deal between Amiga and Atari broke down on June 29, 1984, several days before Tramiel bought Atari and he knew nothing about the deal at all until early August when this check was found in the records and a lawsuit was filed against Amiga by then Atari Corp (now Tramiel owned) on August 13, 1984 for breach of contract and fudiciary misconduct as well as other charges added later. Part of the documents which will be shown are David Morse's own testimony where he admits on the stand that he dealt in bad faith behind Atari (Warner owned) Inc while continuing to use their money to further build and complete the Amiga chipset and computer design. Admitting he willfully stopped negotiating with Atari's license people and when Commodore contacted him in mid-June he negotiated with them and stressed that Commodore would need them to pay him enough to pay back Atari before June 30th so he could remove the Amiga chip tapes and other properties out of Escrow before the deadline...
