It would have had to been come to think of it. I know we were developing
for ourselves a 100% compatible but I was not privy to the sellout
the Commodore. Don Bailey, Chris Sullivan and one other guy I can't
remember his name were the HW folks.
Just before the end (for me anyway) we did a newer h/w
revision starting from scratch keeping it 100% compatible but
of course by then it was too late. I had very little to do with this
project
but I believe it was sold to Commodore.
This was a long time ago...
Tom,
That is very interesting. I've seen Commodore Hyperion's in the same case
but with the molded "Commodore" brand instead of "Hyperion" but
figured
they were just rebranded Hyperions. Would you happen to know if those were
the 100% compatible versions?
I know Commodore bought the rights but ended up making their own PCs that
turned into Commodore's PC line and the Hyperion design disappeared. I'm
wondering if they may have used the 100% compatible Hyperion internals for
their models?
Yes. They must have.
Santo
P.S. One more fun fact, I saw at least one Hyperion case here in Ottawa turned
upside down and used as a flower planter.
