- Not really. I guess ESCOM has invested, more or less, $30M in AT since they
- bought Commodore. VIScorp probably decided to let ESCOM have Commodore as
- long as the OS and the hardware could be licensed from AT. Now ESCOM had
- financial problems and might have sold AT to other parties which might have
- been less willing to license Amiga technology to VIScorp so VIScorp had to
- pull out $40M and buy the whole packet.
