- Bob Rusbasan has got the story almost right. Amiga Corp. started out
- to make the Amiga 1000, but needed cash, so it produced the weird little
- joystick and a few games to raise some money. While they were building
- the machine, both Atari and Commodore were rumoured to be interested in
- this new machine. Of course, Commodore won, and the computer was sold
- as the Commodore Amiga 1000. Atari then went on to develop its answer
- to the Amiga, the 520ST and 1040ST.
