There was a comprehensive article on the Amiga in the August issue
of the UK mgazine Personal Computer World. Most of the software for
the Amiga was custom written for Commodore by a British Company
called Metacomo. The DOS is based on an operating system developed
and extensively tested in the Cambridge Ring network system. This OS
was called TRIPOS (after the Cambridge University 3 part degree).

I believe they also wrote the Basic and the assembler.

My local store says they are expecting 10 on the 15th of September
- I am 9th in line !
