Oh, it wasn't a rumour. The deal got quite advanced. My now-employers covered it at the time: https://www.theregister.com/1998/11/14/amiga_2_to_use_qnx/ > This was just before Commodore went bust, so > nothing came out of it. It was after. By this point it was Gateway Inc paying for it. There's an account of what happened here: https://www.trollaxor.com/2005/06/how-qnx-failed-amiga.html The next-gen Amiga project was pretty much why QNX gained its GUI, Neutrino: https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/qnx621 This is also the basis of the famous QNX Demo Disk, build by the late great Dan Hildebrandt: http://qnx.puslapiai.lt/qnxdemo/qnx_demo_disk.htm > A shame, I rather liked the Amiga and its > so-called Workbench. It was a good OS in its time and its admirers often call it a microkernel, but IMVHO if all the code is in the same memory space, that's not really a true microkernel. Amiga Inc then went on to nearly do a deal with Tao Group for the much more advanced Taos, in its later v2 incarnation as Intent/Elate. https://wiki.c2.com/?TaoIntentOs https://www.osnews.com/story/157/tao-group-on-elateos-amigade-and-more/ Ars has some info on this nearly-forgotten OS: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/03/a-history-of-the-amiga-part-12-red-vs-blue/ -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lproven@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lproven@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
