Why didn't Commodore-Amiga use the following model numbers?
I would think they are much more interesting than the exising
numbers. A2001 for the main computer, A2040 for an external floppy,
A2024 for a printer, some Epson machine with Commodore label,
A2N for a tape backup system. And an A2090 hard disk controller
including a 90M hard disk.
Also, the A2001 should then include an IEEE-488 interface, like
they are being advertised for PC's as an add-on.
An A2001 loaded with a full 8 meg of RAM could be called A2008.
Nobody would *ever* need more memory than an A2008 supplies.

                                                                   :-)
