I have heard rummors of an Amiga compatable portable that is due to be
released late this spring or early this summer by a W-German company.
Has anyone else heard of this machine or know more about it, or is it
just vapor-ware? Please e-mail me the responces, and I will post a
follow-up if there is enough interest.

I would deny this reality, but that wouldn't pay the bills...dan@garfield.catt.ncsu.edu (Daniel Heath) (05/25/91)
Hey all,
I seem to remember, way back when, that there was talk of an amiga
portable. What ever came of that? I currently have a 2000 but I really
need a portable, to the point that I may be willing to sell my 2000 to get
one. I use my system primarily for MIDI. I really like my amiga and would
hate to buy another kind of system, but I am considering something like a
STacy (no flames, please :-) . I also have so much time and money invested
amiga software and stuff that it would hurt to change over. So, any word
on the amiga portable?
Thanks in advance,
Dan Heath

The last I heard was that the amiga portable was scraped due to legal problems. I know this a blow to the amiga community, considering the increased popularity of laptops, but it happens. We really should press Commodore to market a wider range of machines, including '020s (on the motherboard) and laptops, but knowing how slack Commodore is, I doubt this would ever happen.
