Looks like as with Atari, Bush and Wharfedale some one bought the brand
and killed the history. I see that the corporate web site is merely a

What is this thing?
No clue. The IO ports on it are too recent for it to be some
kind of
CDTV2 prototype unit. I know people were trying to "reboot" the
Commodore brand; remember the "retro" C64-alike system that was
supposed to be Intel Inside?

Given the setup, I'm thinking it's some kind of external media
player/box type thing? I really don't know, but no keyboard/video
ports, a "client"-side USB connector, and the SD chip slot kind of
give that away.
Maybe some kind of platform related to the "Gravel" media player that
was announced? It has to be fairly recent, due to the Dutch
involvement.
